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. | |||
