### "maybe 3 stars" — 3.0/5

> **Buddy** | *29 March 2021* | Machinery | Recommendation rating: 2.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Fairly easy to operate.
Gets job done, slowly.
> 
> **Cons**: Gored elbows.

     Can not make full height end gores and still use Pre-Nest Pattern.   We do more elbows than anything.
     Programming the elbow takes 30 seconds. Then 5 to 7 minutes to modify it so the laser can cut it.
     We have to dxf these elbows out, then spend 5 minutes if lucky to change bendline name, bendline 
     color for etching, moving the bend lines off of the part. Makes our laser go crazy.

All other fittings are the same, lots of work after the simple job of programming them. We spend tooooo much time re-doing the dxf's/dwg's.

About a year ago I ask your techs about the elbow issues, the blowbox program that is not available that i have been using with SDS for 25 years. \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\] has helped me more than anyone.
Your tech dept. did fix an issue with exporting and reporting gored elbows.

Spacing setting makes to big of flat spots on fittings. We have to adjust this with the spacing setting in the fitting, but still when i can i replace with arcs. Laser runs much, much faster when i do this

Sq to Round transitions. 
Same issues.

Tapered pipe
Same issues.

> It is a sheet metal program with potential, but at this time taking too long to accomplish our needs.
Training should be available.
