I never got turned on by those spinny things (aka "lathe"), but it
does have its minor uses, I guess.

I sure don't think so. Too many (decent) amateurs doing it nowadays.

As well you should. ;)

Nice
I would like to have some, of the selection, my late Uncles had from who
knows how long ago.
I didn't much care for using them, as a
kid but was fascinated by them.

Yup, bitmaps. White is high, black is low... and 16 bit grey scale in
between.
That's pretty high res. on the Z plane. the x-y are vectors so
whatever the machine can resolve.

Almost 2 years at that point. Still not too shabby.
Are you thinking servos or steppers on your Bot?
I want to add a small one, with vacuum, and a spindle, maybe a Gorilla
Jr. or Shopbot Buddy, that way I won't tie up the 4x8 whilst the
little one is carving its little guts out all night and day. Figure on
an hour per square ft of you're doing any kind of textured
backgrounds.

How about we chip in and just get you the _two_ screwdrivers used to
adjust the plane? $50 to adjust two screws. Sheesh.

JUST got Aspire V3 upgrade. One tool alone was worth the upgrade
price. What a great bunch of guys to deal with. (You do know that the
PartsWorks(sp?) from Shopbot is made by Vectric, yes? (No 3D
capabilities though, AFAIK.)
No regrets I bought the General, but I would have been just as happy
with a 'Bot.
I expect my complete payback sometime summer '11
My business associate on the countertop side has just walked me
through making a pen for Angela. He brought out some exotic wood
chunks from his days as a missionary in the Venezuelan jungle and
parked his lathe at my shop.... now that hobby isn't too addicting now
izzit?
Now I am wanting an A-axis indexer, dammit...(Aspire already has that
built in)... but there can't be any money in pens, can there?
Does Festool make any pen mechanisms, Parker style?.... *slaps self*
That's not woodworking, it's manufacturing.
Cool machine anyway.

A fella would have to make a whole buncha "whatevers" to justify the
CNC swing mortiser. Sure beats my delta all to hell tho'

Quite the machines. I guess with machines like that around, most of us would
have to settle for the poor man's manually operated swing chisel mortiser
and buy the Festool Domino. :)

Probably not a Bot, but a self-build. I'm still researching it and
deciding whether or not to go into hock over it. Probably steppers
until I go full-bore and full-time, if I do.

Yeah, I hear that. I could always use my homemade unit for that and a
larger setup for larger commercial work. What kind of noise is your
setup putting out? 90dB or so?

Purty cool! Bitmaps, eh? I've done bits of texturing work for years
in Photoshop, Painter, and Expression.

And I want a 4x8' ShopBot (or better equivalent) and a copy of Vectric
Aspire CAD/CAM software.
Thanks, guys and girls.
This'll be a swell Christmas!

LOL ... cool machine function but overkill for us chickens, just like
