Thermwood shopping. Moving gantry vs. moving table?

Nick, I believe that in North America, the largest table size usually produced for the C40 and C45 is 5' x 12'. The C42 is also available in a Dual-5' x 12' Table size. The South African variants of the C40 and C45 are available in the 7' x ?' size are probably due to the size of your sheet stock. (...
