Smoke,
From Roland's web site it looks like the machines use the same
command codes, what software do you use with it ? I always found
Modela Player to be frustrating and slow to work with, although it
got the job done. Is the MDX 15 limited like the 2300 to 'top-
loading' tooling of about 4 to 5 inch long ? I'm looking at options
to use a small chuck or collet so I can use 'Dremel' and similar type
1/8" cutters and burrs.
