Because ones that big cost a fortune, take up a lot of space, and most of the projects in my head could be done with a desktop sized one.
I'm going to be making pcbs, decorative doo dads, & small parts, not cabs and furniture.

Yeah... But they're practically a printing press for money...

I saw that on Tested.  It's easily the coolest and most impressive tool I've seen in ages.  Makes way more sense than a large cnc.  Maybe in 5 years or so when the cost comes down.  *sigh*
Nephasth:
$1500 seems extremely reasonable for its capabilities. But ---fudgesicle--- preordering ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- anymore...
Howard_Casto:
I don't think it's bad at all, but unless I'm going into the furniture business or something I can't justify that much for a single tool.  Tight budget and all of that.
