New Tool - New Project - Gift for a Friend

what did that set you back?

how big is the workable bed?

I might consider making a “dust proof room” for the hard drive and keyboard?

Nice toy!!!!!!!!

Wow, I want one! Some day I guess.

Work table is 24” X 36” and the spindle is an 892 Porter Cable router. It was pretty reasonable for the quality of the machine. Ron builds a nice machine and he has quite a few of them out in the field now so it is a pretty refined design.

COOL! I love that little thing! I used to run a big 8×12 version with an 8 tool spindle. That thing looks really cool..the sign you made came out really nice. I checked out the website…pretty reasonable for a CNC machine.

That’s really one cool toy you’ve got there!

I guess that didn’t really answer the question of how much they cost. I looked at the website briefly, but don’t have the time to figure out what a complete setup costs, everything is broke down in pieces.

I asked a stupid question which really is none of my business.

I also checked out the web site and you simply add …...........and you get a total.

Nice toy and like most toys they are as good as the operator, and can be a whole lot quicker.

Whatever.

That is just cool as heck. I can see a lot of really good use out of that… and a lot of very creative projects. Thanks for the post, have fun with your tool.

Very cool.
It looks like you got the MPG installed. I have alway wondered if one could use the volume knob on that Dell keyboard as a MPG (Manual Pulse Generator to step the motors .001, .01, or .1 at a time)... Particularly if you were using Linux MC2 – it is very configurable. I don’t suppose you would need to answer that question since you already have one…

i operate a selexx mate at work with a 4×8 bed on it. great machine ,has a lot of potential

Oh, you got the WD-1! I got the HS-1 and wish for the extra size some times! Aren’t they great machines?
