* 2014-02-25 - discussion open on member list | |||
* 2014-03-20 - open meeting held at PS1 to discuss the purchase | |||
* 2014-04-01 - Announced | |||
* 2014-04-08 - Vote passes | |||
== Background == | |||
The proposal is to buy a large format CNC router. The current CNC has work area and cutting power limitations that limit it to very small parts and slow speeds. | |||
At an open meeting we discussed (3) possible options. | |||
* Build our own | |||
* Buy a used industrial machine | |||
* Buy a Shopbot | |||
The consensus was buying a Shopbot was the most likely option to achieve our goal with minimal risk. A Shopbot is a turnkey solution with a 2 year warranty and has a smaller footprint than industrial machines with similar work areas. The included Shopbot CAM software is basically the same as the smaller machine so certifications will be easier. | |||
Extra stuff: | |||
* Shipping | |||
* CNC Router | |||
* Dust collection - If a larger, shop wide dust collection system is desired the money would be transferred to that | |||
* Wiring - The power requirements (see below) are simpler that the bridgeport, but there will be expenses to do a proper and robust installation. | |||
Receipts will be linked below. | |||
