I am selling my Lite placer due to the imminent coming to life of a larger machine I have been building.
Currently set to run open pnp but just a sw setting to put back to Lite Placer sw.

Please contact for more info / pics etc

Thanks guys Thats really useful advice. I do have some of the construction frame so I think as the example shown looks so neat I will change to that and MDF.
