A Table is something that you can ignore right now. It is significant only in case of dual table machines such as Sapphire or Sapphire-X which have A and B tables (two independent PCBs being handled at the same time). In case of Topaz or Topaz X or E

Hi, We have the Soltec Delta C. It works well, and is very stable. I think the software is a bit simplistic, but it keeps the wave stable, so that's the main thing. It's the timer on the software that I find annoying. It has a warm up time, and yo
