He's making a lot of money selling poor performing, rather expensive machines to people that don't know they can get 10x the machine for the same amount of money.
Well said Gerry couldn't agree more.!Quote:

I can't believe people actually buy these kit things at that money because it's essentially 2 sheets of MDF @ £40 and £150 of hardware. Then it comes flat packed and as to be assembled.!!. . . . . I actually feel for those that do buy because the sickening realisation they've made the dumbest buying decision of there life must sting like hell.!!
Most never realize it. The main moderator on their forum constantly preaches that they can't expect industrial performance from their hobby grade machines, and they all seem to buy into it.
I guess if you're willing to pay $4000 for a few sheets of plywood, you'll believe just about anything.
I bet they don't use these machines to cut the kits they sell..
Shit ! did I say something wrong ? :sorrow:

For this reason you'll never see me refer to or positively promote them and I'll ALWAYS negatively comment on any post's about them just so others see it and hopefully take a step back and look deeper.:thumbdown: . . . . . If they still buy after that then more fools them.!
That's cute. Nearly as bad as one very well liked company on here ( being sarcastic here )selling kits on ebay for nearly 9K and its got loads of watchers. I cant believe some people would actually buy it.
Yes there's load "Dice'y Merchants" making a killing from the unknowing.!!. . . . . So Lets keep Educating them lads and while it's a fight we can't win the bruise's we inflict still hurt..:beaten:Quote:

When I started this thread I thought the machine was made from metal, they must have done a good paint job on it, so hope I everyone knows I would not have started this had I known it was wood.
Eddy it's worse than that.? . . It's not even real that's a Cad Render they darn't show the real thing. . :hysterical:Quote:
