We bought one last spring; it's a pretty solid machine. We use it mostly to cut Styrene, Sintra, foam-core, etc but have routed some acrylic, and Alumacorr too. It is well built, very easy to use and comes with everythiing you need. If you're going to use your cutter for non-stop production you might want to look at one of the bigger names but you can't really beat Colex for the price.
