We currently have great CNC milling capabilities at PS1 (especially for wood and soft metals), to round out our capabilities we'd like to propose CNC cutting of large sheet metal and plate.  Adding a CNC plasma cutting table  would allow us to utilize our existing plasma cutter for high quality CNC cuts. Bart Dring has offered to provide a CNC torch head, which would allow mixed use as a CNC and hand-operated machine, by simply switching the torch connected to the plasma cutter. We expect the purchase of this machine to be made once more space is available, after PS1's expansion into the space next door. Currently the proposal budgets for a 4x8 table, but can be reduced to 4x4 (reduces overall cost about $1500) if space constraints require it.

Currently the proposal budgets for a 4x8 table, but can be reduced to 4x4 (reduces overall cost about $1500) depending on space constriants.
