Sounds faster than it is.. it's all relative really.. Is about equivalent to a commercial large-format machine of this type, fastest cut I've run so far is 3 Meters per min... I aimed for accuracy and repeatability so I run the machine as fast as it will go without impacting on either.... at the minute I'd say the X axis motor is running at about 30% of maximum speed and the Y axis about 50%... My speed is restricted a bit really. I didn't erect the building the machine is in and I know the floor in there leaves a bit to be desired in terms of adequate support...

On a solid concrete floor I'd be interested to see how fast it would go... but not interested enough to strip the machine and building to put one in.... :D
