Alright, who's gonna be the first to get one of these???

Saw the commercial on TV over the weekend and thought if it can cut wood it'll cut plastic. I'd have a hard time convincing the wife to let me drop $1900 though. I just switched jobs to do quality for a tool and die shop a few months back and we do mostly CNC machining so I could handle the programming end of it. Big dreams man, big dreams

I've been seeing that ad and wondering if you could carve bodies with it? Would be a great way to do resin masters!

[Gray Smith]

hmm the stuff I could make with that. I know how to do the drawings for one of those...just a matter of time before these get even cheaper, I'd think that carving wheels out of chunks of resin wouldn't even faze that machine.

Pff, the Sherline CNC Mill is cheaper. I do want a full blown 5 axis mill though.

Hmmmm, back in tha mid 80s, I used to make machine tools for OBI Presses and in-line wire-weld machine formers. Then came tha CNC and computers to make yur cuts more precise. I wonder how much longer until we become one person tool shops and what that will do to our economy?
