    Along those lines, the new "print and cut" feature is pretty amazing for alignment and doesn't even require a camera. Check it out if you haven't tried it yet.

    Don't invest in a "sub $500" machine with the plans to cut .25". If I had to cut .25" all the time, I would want to upgrade from my 80w machine.
