Re: t-tech and Precise Cut on E-Bay

2004-05-08 by mikezcnc

It was an early software from www.deskcnc.com he since updated it. As 
far as your comment that $3000 i8s not worth it 'because of lack of 
controller and software.... Depending how you calculate it. I wish 
you could see the engineering they put into that machine, it is 
perfectly built. How much can a 4A controller cost? I built one for 
$200. Hey guys, I'll make an offer to you, tight now, anybody on this 
list qualifies for a free Xylotex based controller. rememebr, the 
machine is wired with all terminations, ready to be plugged in into 
the controller I am offering to our members or to a person who will 
purchase a controller from PreciseCut. Software? I used turboCNC to 
test the machine. What does it cost? $10?

Respectfully and wishing that nobody buys the machine this time, 
because next week it will be listed for $3500, hahahaha
