I get better cut quality than a large number of CNC machines manufactured in Taiwan in the $15,000 to $20,000 US dollar range. Of course the $50K to $100K Big Iron machines cut about the same as the Mechmate. I've seen a number of big iron machines around here sporting a lot of bells and whistles like massive servos and 55mm lead screws, but I'll have to say that I'm really not jealous. I've even seen 5X10 machines go from x and y extremes to home in under 3 seconds (Yes, I've see a few that could actually pull that off and it is really impressive) but, can you really cut at that speed? No!!!

Yeah, I mean come on folks... Why pay that when for less than $5-6K one can get this quality of cut....

Our silent partner in the process uttered a quiet "wow," when he saw the mold... He's pretty hard to impress....
