Thanks guys,

I had looked on ebay at the Chinese 3040 machines, I assume they are not good enough?

I am not talking major scale here to begin with, the like of this letter? It is 12mm thick by 250mm Click image for larger version.  Name: image.jpg  Views: 253  Size: 156.2 KB  ID: 16651

I dont think at the minute vcarving etc is what she is looking at? Just cutting out this type of font and triangle shapes and hearts etc at 6mm thick.
