I am looking at purchasing a cnc and probably a Canmaster SR34 or SR44. Does anyone have any experience or opinion on the X3 option available on these models? Looks like a very nice feature but are there any negatives to it? Is it worth the extra $ ? look forward to any input.

I have a stinger X3. It's nice to run files with multiple tools and not have to touch the machine after set up. Set up is kind of a PIA mostly because of the dust boot. It comes in handy when doing cabinets. I put a 3/8 compression bit in the spindle, a 5mm spur bit in T3 and a 3/16 end mill in T2. You create the file and save all the tool paths in one tap file and hit enter. The machine does the rest.
