CNC router projects! who has one?

[mmoses]

Picked up a CNC router from Shapeoko last week. Went with an XL.

It only took me 4hrs or so to put together and square up. Very sturdy machine.

Getting files and designs into their cad program is pretty easy.

Ill post some pictures of what I have done already.

It doesn't come with any clamps to hold down material so I got to make my own!

I have really been looking into a machine like this. lots of different options and price ranges tho!

I've been thinking about getting one for a while, this is a nice price for one compared to others.

is the program pretty easy to use or does it need a class?

Program is really easy to use. A few online tutorials and your good to go.

They are fun to watch; my son is co-owner of Turner Sign Systems in Fr. Worth it's pretty cool when his router going. He has some big national accounts and his router is huge, hold the stock with vacuum. I don't remember how big it has to be 10' x 5' at least. Here is a few pics of the router can do.

I'm not sure bro, I only go there a few times a year he's always busy, they are a multimillion dollar business.

If you dont mind me asking, what do you have invested in this so far. Really want one and trying to save my pennies up for one.

The machine was $1650, $200 in bits, $140 in the enclosure/bench/wasteboard/clamps/hardware.

Next up is a dust boot($100) and the tool bit zeroing plate($120).

Not too bad I think.
