Many here have enjoyed the power and reliability of General power
tools.
I'm particularly proud of this achievement as it involves (near) local
talent and the machine is an absolute delight.
I have been working with this machine and its forefathers over the
last few months and took delivery
of an actual production version.
I want to thank David Eisen for introducing me to these adventurous
craftsmen.
Going into full production next week, I introduce my new
toy^H^H^H^tool:

That is some serious router.
What are you going to be manufacturing with this beast?

A unique line of solid surface vanity tops with countersunk soap-
dishes, undermounted solid surface sinks, fluid shapes and inlaid
flourishes. Perhaps floral patterns, scrolley and leafy stuff.
Then, the cut-outs from the sinks, will turn into house numbers,
serving platters for dog-food dishes, with Fido's name engraved,
there's no end what that thing is going to be doing.
Oh.. and 117 window sills for a hospital.

gelled. I snuck in under the wire. Made about a 5K difference. Plus I
got some options specific for my business.
When I was at the People in Motion show in Toronto this summer supporting
General with their line of lowered woodworking machinery, they also had a
table mounted CNC machine there retailing for about $6000.
They were trying to push the idea that with a relatively minimum investment,
one could go into the raised relief sign business. It was something to
consider.
Hello Rob,
Where didja buy it?
David.

Now that's just way too cool. I hope you post some pics when you do
your first masterpiece.

Direct from Gorilla. I gave them a deposit before the General deal
gelled. I snuck in under the wire. Made about a 5K difference. Plus I

Will you be a dealer as well? I think it would be a nice fit.
These guys came on board although I have no idea about the numbers
they are doing.

If you become a dealer ( if you aren't already simply via your
relationship with General already), I will work with you on demos etc.

Indeed it is a CNC. With the probe, it is also a digitiser, which
comes in handy when duplicating a piece of moulding one might need
during a restoration project. The other thing it is good at, is to
take a slice off a window trim, scanning or digitising the profile,
then extruding it along an arc, nice for all them cussed palladium
windows.
It also sculpts HDF for mould-making so one can design and pour
concrete corbels etc.
Here's another use: (not mine)

and, of course, guitar bodies. I will eventually digitise my
Telecaster and do a solid rosewood version... IF I will ever have time.

There are some really neat small CNC routers around. Some are quite
capable.
There is a whole community that home-build CNC machines. All the parts
are available to anybody.
Quite an intriguing bunch, really. Nary a day goes by without my
visiting the different forums (fora to Watson <g>).
I am desperately trying to hang on to the creative/fun aspect of this
machine without feeling the need to crank out product in mega
quantities.
For some damned reason the atelier/studio concept always seems to
transform into a farking production floor.

Mighty impressive.
That is CNC, right?
