[QUOTE="Lefty, post: 162723, member: 2976"] You should be able to get a reasonable machine and a set of basic laps for that Matt. I'm still a novice and familiar only with the VJ machine - which is a top of the range machine and will set you back about $5500 for the top shelf version - but I think you can get a brand new Graves or Facetron for what you are looking at spending (Graves I think was around $2300 and facetron around $3000 from memory). I'll leave it to more experienced people to deliver judgement about these machines and others but I think with practice you will be able to cut good stones on any reasonable machine. [/QUOTE]
