1. the machine will make parts 2. the machine is reliable 3. repair is timely 4. repair is inexpensive 5. the operator interface is usable to the general operator 6. cost is comparable There will be other criteria in some circles. I will not worry about this yet. We have no clue what the reaction will be. It may be very 'yawn - ho hum' from the machine buyers. BUT, the average machinist with dream of owning a machine, that may be a different story. With the economy as it is there are now a lot of CNC machines for almost no money. That is the correct price. If the average machinist knows EMC2 can DO the job and not just talk the talk there will be a great interest. thanks Stuart ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Register Now for Creativity and Technology (CaT), June 3rd, NYC.
