Didn’t X-Carve come up with some new (expensive) cnc machines?
X-carve pro? Pre-order for around ½ price ~ $6K for the 4x4 version. Full price puts it up with the axioms and hammers of the world. It's another interesting machine, but...
I'm in Australia, so it's not an option at the moment - I think the initial machines will go to the US market.
