Your welcome Danny!

I should point out that I'm not bagging the 6040's at all even though it might seem that way, they are a product with a level of build quality that no other manufacturer can even come close to for anywhere near the cost, so they are amazing value for what they are. Even factoring in a G540 and a new PSU they still represent great value, but, for any reasonable commercial endeavour it would be throwing moeny away in my opinion as you'd realise pretty quick it may not be suitable for your needs in many cases.

Of course if your planning on little trinkets or small carvings, wooden jewelry, etc, then the 6040 would likely be more than adequate. But it would still be somewhat limiting in many cases.

CNC definitely isn't cheap, and this is a case where spending a little more can save a lot in the long run.

cheers, Ian
