We have a Prototrak. Our teacher that was new for this year had a lot of experience with it, and we have use it a lot for smaller parts that would take too long for the Techno, for touching up other parts, and, until recently, accurate cutting of any metal besides aluminum (figured it out on the Techno. Use Torchmate Plasma Torch for not as accurate cutting). Before this year, we didn't use it that much. Now, it's probably the second or third cutting most used machines in our shop (the techno is still number one followed either band saw or the Prototrak).

Once again, if you have any more questions, feel free to private message me.
