Lot of great feedbacks,
I think I start to grasp the limitation about the stock thickness and alignment. For my use case, I believe this is manageable with a small table saw on a side and something like pin (Michael's feedback)?or??with vacuum for alignment.
I like the "x rated" video, but it is gonna stay in the video as i am not an actor :).
I will continue to look at both options until I need to make a decision.
On the brands, all the ones I listed are hobby/small shop or middle of the road type. They seems to all have cost cutting somewhere compare to the heavy duty one, but not on on the same components such WInCNC vs industrial controller or single screw for Y axis vs two screws or manual zone vs automatic zone. If anyone has knowledge on those brands that would be great. I parsed internet and it looks like a GM vs Ford situation except for DMS patriot line for which there is really nothing to find about. From my viewpoint, as long as the company support the product after sales and there is no big design no-no, I am not worried.
Thanks,
Bill
