He's a big boy. (Sounds expensive.) *I'll bet it's fun to work with.


I'm glad I bought the size I did, thatsafursure. One thing I did
learn, is when one makes the commitment to buy one, one must allow a
non-productive time in order to tackle the learning curve. It is not
nearly as bad as I want my customers to believe, but a solid knowledge
of vector editing and file-conversion is essential. The boys at
Vectric have created an incredible piece of software that would have
cost $10,000 not too long ago. Their Aspire package is insanely
powerful and relatively friendly to use.
Owning a cnc without a package like that forces one to grow a brain
like Morris's and who wants that? G
