    Hey folks. strongly considering a panther for building custom guitars and custom desks, as well as whatever i can make to make money.

    Welcome! The Panther is an excellent machine for all of the above.

      I've had my Panther going on 4 years... having never used a CNC before, I took the dive and don't regret it. It's allowed me to get work that I would not have been able to get as well as be a lot more time efficient on work that I do normally. Though I did not get the automatic tool changer, for me this has not been a big issue as of yet. I am glad I went with the 5x8 as opposed to the 4 x 8..

          The Panther is a more than capable heavy machine. Mine has been purring for 4+ years and it's a hoss.
