The only differences I see between yours, Gamble and mine is the mag-release, floating home switch, and the color. The ohmic sensor bit is unclear. The Magnetic release setup is definitely interesting.

Gamble, How is your height control working? Would you buy it again versus the Velox? Overall impression with Flashcut vs TM We are looking at Flashcut for retrofitting a 5x10 kioke table.

Thank you

I had some bugs to work out with flashcut. But it was an issue with my table. Kept cutting alll goofy and after a few hours the backlash nut came off. After replacing it the table is cutting great.
The lifter still works very very well and have no complains. The magnetic breakaway has saved me a ton of money already.
The more I use the software the more I like it.
Having the cut charts built in is the best part. I select the material and thickness and it does the rest. If I had a PM65 it could control the amperage for me too.
I would buy it again no questions asked
