I bought it mainly to do car stuff but ended up in the sign business. Lol. The best way to see what I’ve done is check out my Facebook page or Instagram under: Tiny Tin Metal. Table wise it’ll do whatever you want but cutting wise is determined by the Plasma you buy. I bought a Hypertherm 65 and can burn through 1/2” like butter. As far ease of programming........ you pretty much have to create files or design your own stuff in cad programs. Some brackets and stuff are available online otherwise you have to create the file. It won’t do its own thing by itself unless you mean program it to cut then walk away and go do something else while it’s cutting. As far as tracing, that kind of sucks honestly. Scanning software is expensive and then there’s another method but I’ve never managed to get it to work. Long story short, if you don’t like computer work then you’d hate a Plasma table as its 99% computer work.
