Well, I voted CAMaster - because I own one. I can tell you that when Phoebe (my router) arrive home, she was essentially ready to cut. The frame was solid welded steel. The gantry was on, aligned and ready to go. WINCNC was installed on the computer, all of the .ini files, soft limits and everything was set. I decided I was going to come up with my own hold down set up - so I had to get that going, grab some MDF, load a bit into the router, generate a toolpath in Aspire (which I use on another PC)... and I was ready to crash my first bit into the table. I think everyone does that at least once. Seriously, you provide the material, bits and toolpaths and you're ready to cut. I think with the Stinger I, I could have been cutting within about an hour of it arriving at my house... I have the Stinger II 4x4 and it took a LITTLE more man handling. These things are built like tanks.

And, in running on a year now, and I haven't had a hitch out of Phoebe. My wife has gotten into the joy of Phoebe... of course the only problem there is that Phoebe does EXACTLY what she is told to do... not always exactly what we WANT her to do... oh well, women...

Oh, and as far as all of the options - I'd give Joey a call and discuss them with him... maybe after Christmas. You can talk to him, explain to him what you want to do and he'll do a good job of helping you figure out the options you need.

I am another CAMaster owner, well in fact I own two of there machines a 2' x 3' Stinger I and a 5' x 8' ATC (Automatic Tool Changer) with a 4th axis lathe. I also offer you a preview of the machine if you live on the West Coast.
