Since I have the Original Woodworker and want to use a QCW stand, is the Elite Gen 1 REDLINE Upgrade Kit (Buildbotics to Redline) | Closed Loop | IPP worth it? My main or immediate use I hope to learn is to cut thin sheets of aluminum 0.025" - 0.050" or 0.635 mm - 1.27 mm, 1/40" - 1/20" into custom sizes and shapes for pet memorials to be affixed to a wood plaque backer, down to 1" x1" sized shapes or smaller, and up to 10" x 13" large.
I also paid for the X50 upgrade, but I haven’t done so yet, if that is important… I’m not sure whether I should stay with the X35 for this task or upgrade to the X50 rail and then get the upgrade kit for the larger size.
I currenty own from 2021 (But STILL in the boxes due to not having the means to build a bench by myself and looking into the QCW options)
