Speed is good. You need to remember what the comparisons are
though. 24IPM versus 100IPM is quite an improvement I must agree. But
24IPM is a much greater improvement over six set-ups on specially built
fixtures, four requiring a rotary table, to get one part! Hmmm, 24IPM is
looking better and better. I'd like 24IPM, I'd like 100IPM better, but
24IPM would be WONDERFUL. :-)
