I was looking into buying their 4 axis cnc router system for doing some wood working. They seem to stand behind their product.

Does anyone have experience with their products? How good is their software?

Really, you're looking at their Routermate.. don't think you want to burn your wood...
But, they seem to be a solid system. I've never used one but their build quality seems to be right up there. They don't offer a 4th axis, though, so doing true "in the round", like spindles, would require some extra effort to see if they could set up a fourth axis stepper motor, much like a wood lathe. What they are calling 3D on the website is really 2.5D...

PM me for any questions on CNC routers. I've run a few and have one currently. Each has their pros and cons.. it all depends what you want to do!
