How they fit together
Two production lines, not a price ladder
A workshop does not choose a machine by its budget, it chooses by the size it produces. On large sizes, the HotWireXpert cuts the block and the ShapeXpert finishes the board. On foil boards up to 2.50 m, the WingXpert does both steps on its own.
