I have a red and black 24 X 39 130 watt unit It cuts acrylic real fast. I paid just over $4000 for it about 5 years ago. If you get one don't get the CW3000 chiller as it does not chill just circulates the water.

Yeah you should be able to hold your hand on a furnace. the decal should be on the outer case and not the stack

Did you upgrade your software I had some trouble with one of the upgrades. Call Shopbot and ask them about it they are very nice to talk to and will support their machines. I had one that I was the 3rd owner and they just had me regester it and they provided support for it as they knew what...
