Looks like a great place. A cabinet makers dream. ;D

Is that one of those places where you pay for workshop time? I would love to use a place like that but they don't seem to have them in the UK. Can anyone tell me differently? Please?

its like a gym membership $125 a month or $99 onsale
the only machine you pay to use was the flowjet
the way I understand it , the flowjet motor is only good for x number of hours
so they take x and divide it into the cost of a new motor and charge accordingly
they couldnt tell me the rate yet
here is the web site
it was amazing

I don't know of any but would be very interested if anyone has any information

If they had one of those here in Reno, I would be a lifetime member. I hope they start expanding to new areas.

What a cool place. Too bad I'm on the wrong side of Lake Michigan from the nearest one.

I dunno. $125 a month seems steep. You can use a hell of a lot more gym equipment for a lot less. (I think they're both not worth paying for, but that's another story.)

Agreed, pricing is steep. OTOH I wonder what it would cost to go somewhere and line up a one-off use of a CNC machine. I'm guessing at least one-months access. However, I think a more variable pricing plan would serve them well. Something that could cover the couple times a year user all the way up to the one who will certainly get more than his monies worth at the $125/mo end. I would love having something like that closer to home, but at a pricing plan that better reflected my occasional use pattern. You know, eat up "n" points for hammering the CNC for an hour, and three months later....you get the idea....
