How to Decide Between The Two?

Both of these machines are amazing and it really depends on many features you need when deciding which to buy. If you need a large table than the PT-44 is a great choice. If you are making small cuts than the PT-22 will work great and save you some $$$. Also, you need to consider how much space in your shop you have available. These machines are large and need space around them for maneuvering sheet metal. However, no matter what your choice you’ll have a blast making all sorts of things with your new CNC table. And if you’re like me you’ll have tons of metal art hanging all around your house! That justifies the purchase right..? Have fun!
