I checked into it a year ago. In short you are buying the computer software and the controller. You supply the plasma cutter and table. I have something similar at work but, I can use Oxy/propylene torch or plasma I can also use both at the same time for different material thicknesses.
For the price, It would be good for making gun car parts.
what is the price?
Even if you paid 2500 for it you could make that up in no time selling parts /art etc. Getting a good hi cap plasma cutter and the air compressor to run it are going to be the major cost.
yeah, i was thinking, besides the decorative stuff, some side panels for a 1918 MG would be nice!
I wonder how hard it is to program in a pattern?

holes etc within the part.
For example Say you wish to cut a 4"X4" square and want a 1/4" hole in the center
You draw your 4x4, square then the software will show you the X axis and Y axis of your part
Then you draw your 1/4 Circle in the center of your part. The dimension might look like -y=.125 +y=.125 -x=125 +x=.125 Highlight it as a cutout. That's the basics of how it works. I have not used their software but it will figure things out for you. Then you do a sample part and edit from there. dheffley is a great CNC Guru and can help/explain to you better in depth than I, with Drawing in X Y.
I just have a hard time explaining it in detail[:I]
Its things like this that I can't do in a paragraph.[:D] I know you have been around the block way more than I with CNC.

frank and dan,
what do you think about the powermax 600. it looks like the company replaced that model with a new one, but there's still some out there for sale.
it has enough cutting capacity for what I need and the prices are right. (around $1200-1500)
thanks
