====Wait, why this machine?====
We already have the [[Tormach 1100 series CNC mill]] and it has proven to be extremely reliable. The 1300PL uses PathPilot as its controller software, similar to the CNC mill, so we would eliminate Mach 3 as yet another program folks need to learn how to use. We have a good relationship with Tormach the company; they are based in the Midwest in Wisconsin, and PS1 benefitted from the company personally training some members so they could train others. While this level of engagement is not necessary for a CNC plasma machine, it's good to know there's a local-ish company that we can contact if there are any significant issues.
