After quite a few years of trying, we finally have our new CNC! Several of our students have taken time after school and on weekends to help get this machine up and running. The actual build was pretty straightforward with very few real issues. Shopbot tech support has been fantastic when we ran across issues.
We all read through the assembly manual a couple of times before the machine showed up so we had a general idea what to expect. There's a lot of wiring!!! I was surprised just how well everything went together and the process of squaring everything up was easy and very accurate. A big thank you to our District Maintenence department and the electricians for getting us hooked up so quickly!
Fit and finish is excellent and Shopbot seems to have gone the extra mile and painted it to match our school colors. Our metals manufacturing teacher next door, Mr. Leair, is jealous of that and already has plans to try and make his plasma torch look as good as this does. Good luck with that!
