Opinions Needed

Post by Ironken »

Hey guys, I have a Swifty 2x2 and love the product and phenominal support buuuut, I have outgrown it. The SwiftCut Pro 44 is my top choice and one sharp piece of equipment and the price tag is a bit out of reach (22-25k).

How does every body feel about StarLab? They look good to me but, I need reassurance before I go drop coin on a 4x4 from them. Any other recommendations are very welcome as well.

Thanks!

I have a Starlab and I would highly recommend them. Very solid table and Matt is a stand up guy. If you have the space, go 4x8. Not a lot more and then you can do full sheets.

Thanks guys! I appreciate good words from actual owners. That eases the mind.

A 4x8 would be ideal but, space is tight here. I have a small fleet of blue welding equipment and need a table sized to fit in the space left. Yes, I have an illness.....I see metal working equipment and want to give it a new home......all of it.
