I built it to hold 4X4 sheets, and if I choose to expand my machine then it will bolt easily to the table. Lastly having much experences doing the custom work I do, i know that most of the parts I cut out are under 2'x2'. Second, having used a CNC plasma in the past I already had some drawing skills, and already have several adaptable drawing programs (autocad, emachine, and access to older design edge). I bought one for several reasons, first being that it was a cheap way to get into a CNC machine for my small shop. Your only support is their public forum, which is pretty decent, but it may sometimes take days to get an issue resolved which is a few clicks of the keyboard on their end. They claim they have no knowledge of this 'other' company that is selling their machine parts under license. Oh you also WILL NOT be able to call PCAM for any support whatever.
I think that comes out to slightly more than their 4X4 table. So, for the original $3000, plus 5 x $998, you have a fully functional machine. If you want to change table size that will cost you $998 for the software upgrade and about as much for the rails and gantry piece. You can upgrade to their basic THC for $998, or for another $998 you can get to Ohmic THC. It comes with NO auto torch height control, repeat again NONE. For $998 you can upgrade to PCAMs basic level of software, for an additional $998 you can upgrade to their advanced design edge software. You can NOT draw a circle, much less a pioneer wagon train. Number one, it does not come with ANY drawing software whatever!!! I repeat NONE. You must be aware of several things BEFORE you buy this machine though.
