Peter,

True, but for $3750, you should also be able to get a full sized CNC mill
with a bad controller but good motors and maybe good amps delivered
to your home. Tim, how much have you got into Bridget, delivered.

I agree though, that the GEM is probably better suited for the home shop,
and it is new. But since nobody has seen one, I wonder about the quality
of it. Probably fine, but you never know.
