It was a struggle getting it in, but its now in....
Not sure yet.....Very nice. What CAM software are you going to use ?
Thanks Sawman, but a gantry CNC isnt in my future anytime soon. For me, this machine can be a very creative way to easily create custom turnings (think of a large kitchen island leg with grape leaves carved into it, that sort of thing) that otherwise would be extremely labor intensive. I would also like to develop and supply custom newels and ballusters.Holy guacamole Cisco! Maybe this would be a good spot to mention Ron Lee wants to sell his very profitable business, and retire. His CNC router is a huge Onsrud. Good business for a younger man to get into! If you want his personal contact info, PM me.

CNC "Lathe".... I say "lathe" because it will make parts other than standard turned shapes. It has the capability to make virtually any shape inside of a 8" diameter x 72" long envelope.
Actually there is one.... on a purely realistic note, I would be open to making parts for others on it, thats kindof why I have it.
