You would have to take the powder coat and laser classes.  The powder coat
class was somewhat insightful. 

You can do decent CNC work on the Tormach.  It'd be nice if the spindle was
faster but it's usable.  As clean as the laser etched powder coating turned
out you there may be little reason to machine preanodized sheet stock.  And
you'd be amazed how much .090 to .120 aluminum sheet stock I see sitting in
the scrap bins.  More than enough for a couple dozen euro or frac panels.
