I believe that Lin will be in St. Louis for the Championships.

We ran ends for nearly all of our jobs this year in the 1/8" and 1/4" variety on mostly aluminum.

I would advise getting a Super PID to make the machine more user friendly.

We purchased the Mesh Cam and ArtCam softwares for the machine.

I would highly recommend this machine.
