I'm looking very hard at this system. Add $500 for a Z scale, $150 for
remote cycle start, and $100 for offline programming, it's still well
under anything else commercial on the market. It will accept a modified
Fanuc 6 code also. (hope Vector has this, or it's available!)
It's nowhere as usefull as a full 3 axis system, but it's still far
better than hand cranking, can be user installed in a day or two, and
if trends continue I could have one paid for in 4 months.
