It looks like a pretty solid machine, and they have a pretty cool forum post documenting the process of designing their first one (I think it's somewhere in the Shapeoko forums but can't find it right now). They're also super nice and responsive-- I've emailed them a few times with questions and am really hoping it makes sense for us to get one.
why is routakit better than xcarver or shapeko3?
