Background
We would like to see a large format Shopbot CNC router capable of basic and advanced work brought into PS1.
- For the purposes of this authorization, the CNC router and associated accesories should be substantially similar to the description here:
- A CNC router with capacity similar to a PRSstandard, with a work area of aproximately 4' x 8' x 6".
- A dust collector, a computer capable of running the CNC router, and a high frequency spindle of at least 2HP
Extra stuff:
- Shipping
- CNC Router
- Accessories
Receipts will be linked below.
Budget
- $12,895 (#10108) PRSstandard
- Normal Work Area: 96"x 48"x 6"
- Movement Limits: 102" x 50" x 8"
- Floor Foot Print: 120" x 79" x 67"
- Recommended Clearance: 30" around all sides.
- $2,619 (#12541) HSD 2.2HP 3 Phase Variable Frequency Spindle; 230v (single or 3-phase options) (includes 4 ER25 collets)
