I would like to see the software with it. That alone could make or break the usefulness of the machine. I've been working with CNC for a couple years now, and the software is everything. One other thing that looks as if it could be a major problem with this guy is that it feeds wood through like a printer feeds paper. Not sure how it would handle balsa. Something else to look at.

I think if I were going to spend that much, I would add another grand and pick up a laser cutting setup. It would be much more useful for cutting ribs, formers, etc.
