Do post how you get on, i'll be using mine with a Mac - so here's hoping

I've had a Craft-Robo 330-20 for a couple of years now and it is stunning for the money.
I also use it with a Mac (PPC G5 - not intel) although I've found the bundled software isn't mac friendly - but a plug-in is available to drive it via Adobe Illustrator. Working out cutter pressure and speed for the medium you're using is the trickiest bit for me and because I don't use it constantly, I never quite remember what I last did but after a practice cut I'm normally there or thereabouts.
For logos and lettering it is brilliant.
The only drawback is your own artistic talent and to that - hats of to Jon Miller and all the other painters on here whose work I often drool over and which inspires yet frustrates me in equal parts
