Pros
- A 33 in square bed takes large signs and cabinet parts in one setup
- Ball screws, linear rails and closed loop steppers on every axis, a rare mix at this price
- Inductive limit switches and hard stops give repeatable homing
- Takes anything from a trim router to a 1.5 kW spindle
Cons
- No spindle or spoilboard at this price, so budget for both
- Needs a sturdy table about 56 by 49 in
- A 1 year warranty is short for a machine this size
