Re: Future CNC man

Tim,

I think I've sen your posting on the Shoptask site. YOu a owner of
one. If so what is your opinion on there system and the avaiable
options both from them and third party. Is it a good buy? How about
customer service? You can email me directly so as not to cloud the
CNC with machine topics. However maybe more folks would be interested
in 3-n-1 systems. I'm like you no space and a wife at my wallet ;)
