So after a lot, and I mean a lot of research trying to find a machine that would suit our needs, we finally settled for a Trotec Speedy 400.

We considered Chinese machines direct, Chinese machines from UK resellers, Chinese machines stripped down and rebuilt in the UK and all the main stream players. We were very close to getting a Chinese machine from a UK seller, but after seeing the Speedy 400, we were blown away. Is it worth the extra cost - we don't know but we will find out soon enough.

So we got;

80w CO2
Atmos Hepa Filtration system
New Job Control software
1.5" lens
2.0" lens
Vacuum honeycomb table
Cutting lamellas (both aluminium and acrylic)
Pass through doors
Air assist/red dot
Rotary attachment

There is a 3 month waiting list, but the lovely folks at Trotec are looking at lending me a s300 until the 400 arrives. Cannot wait....let the fun and games begin!
