Halfway there...
Wooo... to busy to post much (as my two readers have noticed), but as you can see we re-did the shop, built a table, and put the shopbot on the table, but not mounted the Z-axis, the motors, or wired it up yet. And the table is too tall, so we gotta chop it down a bit... We've decided to name it Frank. We're very proud. We'll be even more proud when it actually, you know, does stuff. Boy is it bigger than I thought! I thought a 4' x 8' cutting area meant that the machine wouldn't be that much bigger than that, but oh boy, I didn't know that it adds 6" to the cutting area in each direction so that non-plunge-able cutting bits can start outside the material and cut in, and, well, due to other things the 4' x 8' table has turned into a monster 5'6" x 10' table... woo...
