It is the wife's time as she is the one that runs the cutter and if there is anything I have learned after 47 years of marriage is to not commit her time! The one for my friend took about 6 hours to get to where we wanted it. Part of the time was "learning" how to program the cutter. It was not quite right and required a little adjustment. The "kit" was three rings, three arcs and two strips of different widths. Required some cutting and fitting!
