.
I have received a number of questions about the promised review over the last month... it's "in progress", and up to 8-9 pages of pure text (I haven't added in the pictures yet, though most have been taken). I expect it to be in the 20 page range when all is said and done. Note this is only Part I, dealing with the delivery/unpacking process, the accessories, and my overall impressions with the machine at a first glance as compared to other machines I've worked with. Unless it arrives in time (back-ordered), the rotary review will have to wait until the first update. Part II will include my thoughts on the system in use, from how it handles various substrates, how the job control compares, etc.

Dan,
While the review will be greatly appreciated and read carefully by many of us, what we realllllly want to know is....are you having a good time with it so far??? <grin>

900x600 80watt EFR Tube laser from Liaocheng Ray Fine Tech LTD. Also a 900x600 2.5kw spindle CNC from Ray Fine. And my main tool, a well used and loved Jet 1642 Woodlathe with an outboard toolrest that helps me work from 36 inch diameters down to reallllllly tiny stuff.
You seem to be a guy who's pretty good about getting stuff done Dan and I understand that's a lot of pages, but... We still haven't seen any pictures yet so I'm starting to think that you actually got yourself a Chinese machines and it's taking longer to paint it to look like a Trotec than you thought and you're just buying time :P

Note to Dan....the natives are getting restless!

If he would spend more time trying to get the crate open and not so much on the web we would have pictures.

Wow .. I guess people are anxious..
even finding your extension cords..
Ouch, $87? I think this one would be a bit more in line with what I wanted:
http://www.amazon.com/Foot-5-20P-5-2.../dp/B00DMHG15Q
I was looking for something immediately (read, Home Depot or Lowes), so I ended up with a 15-foot DIY cable.
Of course, looking on Amazon I found some scary stuff, like this:
http://www.amazon.com/Conntek-1F5155.../dp/B00439KIF6
Allows you to hook a 20A-corded item to a 15A-capable plug. Just an overall bad idea...
