Looks cool.






Really nice for someone running a shop maybe. Kinda steep for home use.

It looks entirely to light duty to me, especially for that price. I dont think that I could risk it.

I have. Simple 2d system. Uses simple 2*pi*R formula which does not account for material stretch. The results from this will make all your parts too long and too wide. In addition, there is no compensation to line up to the end of the die or strap. Not much of a program IMO.
