I for one (a 12 year owner of a DHC2 Plasmacam) will disagree with you. Had mine 5 years and it still cuts great, extremely accurate and reliable. And the advanced software is as close to perfect for designing and cutting parts and artistic drawings as you can get. The table itself works great esp paired with a Hypertherm plasma cutter using fine cuts. And Plasmacam's ohmic sensing works great. You will have to constantly zero out your Z axis manually by jogging the torch over to the cut area, lowering the torch shield to the top of the plate, open settings, and zero out the Z shift so that the software recognizes the torches physical location as the top of material. If money is tight at first you can do without the design and machine control upgrades, but you gotta have the advanced HC And don't do what I did and think, ehhh I can get by with the basic HC. Do yourself a favor and do not buy a Plasmacam (or any table for that matter) without advanced height control (ohmic sensing). Right around 15K will get you a 4x4 table, a Hypertherm plasma cutter, advanced design software, advanced machine control, and most importantly advanced height control.
