I am trying to decide between purchasing a Shapeoko XXL or a X-Carve 1000x1000. I’ve gone through all the pros and cons of each machine. I’ve done a ton of reading on both machines forums.

For the example I’ll stack “your” on top of “text here”… since that’s boring in general you should replace that with the text you…
