What boggles my mind is that this has popped up quietly. It is light
enough to Gantry Mount. Runs on the power of two hair dryers, and
puts out a beam slightly cooler than the surface of the sun.

It does not get into how precise the beam is - or how accurate the
cutter... But at $600 - it is worth checking out.

It plays into the Gantry Mount interchangeable ENM-Plasma cutter idea
very well.
