I've been thinking about a laser cutter for a while. Perfect for our math center. Think I'll be ordering the pro model. Thanks for the tip!

Then again... shipping and tax is going to add at least $2000 on to the price for me. And their vague "we'll be shipping in the next few quarters as we ramp up production" sounds like I could be waiting for a year. Hrm.

Buy it. And buy me a plane ticket. I will hand deliver it.

(You know I'm serious)

Thanks man! I'm waiting to hear back on wait time. I don't want to pony up $4000 and then wait until 2017 to get my cutter. Judging by customer responses on their faq, they seem to be unresponsive to requests. In fairness, they are probably getting a crapload of inquiries now, but worrisome that they have $8 million in preorders of their $100,000 goal. That's a lot of units to produce.
