Franco, it is a shopbot prt120 with the 7.2 alpha upgrade and 5 hp spindle.  Today, I cut three signs for the kids and right now I'm making some boxes for the football coach.  You can see the kids lighting up as they started to see the things being created right before their eyes.  I'm going to have to search for cocktail .dxf's so I can get started.

Patrick, since it was being cut on mdf, the inside detail needed some sanding.  Today I did that and spray painted the letters.  I then put it through the planer to take off the face.  As far as the camera, that was more of a midnight hour quickie to just get it posted.

Mountain, classes start tomorrow.

Cheffo, thanks!

How large of a piece can you do at a time?

I imagine that anything you design will have to have the cutter dimensions accounted for, correct?

So many questions...so many possibilities!
mccoy178:
The largest piece you can place on it is 5' x 10'.  When you create the tool paths for each cut, you designate what type of cut it is, what bit you want to use, and where you want the cut to take place (i.e. outside, inside, or on the line).  You can also preview it at every level before the actual cutting.

So I guess the next question is how much does a rig like that cost and am I in your will if something unforseen should happen ;)
