[QUOTE="Pat Hogen, post: 483359, member: 11720"] $2k isn't it? Lawrie Hall was very unhappy with Patriot because they interfered with his design ( a Patriot is a Hall Xtra with variations). It was the variations that Lawrie was displeased about so he discontinued association with Patriot. As a 1st timers machine? It will do what needs to be done to complete a faceted stone but it may be detrimental to your experience of cutting. As to why this is you would have to talk to Peter Tolput in Cairns, but this is easier to say than do as Peter is not easily contacted these days. If the problems with the machine could be easily counteracted then I would say it was a good price and is a good machine. Someone here has an Xtra and could inform you further. [/QUOTE]
