Not knocking CNC plasma tables, they have their place, just make sure you are comparing apples to apples here.

I don't believe I made a comparison??? No doubt the Waterjet is more accurate, they blow the tap drill holes for me. If it can replace 1/2 of the parts I get made, and then I could fabricate more stuff in the shop that I was either doing by hand or just not doing at all, I think it would pay for itself quickly if I could get an inexpensive unit.

I've heard horror stories about building their own units, I think the statement I heard was if you want another hobby, build a CNC gantry, if you want to use a CNC gantry for a hobby, buy a unit already built!

BTW I contacted MATZCNC from ebay last night. He gave me his cell number and we chatted via text, good guy. His units seem pretty complete, with PC and everything, minus the water table. The only draw backs I see is that all the software is demo version, so that would have to be upgraded.
