| Shoptask 3 in 1 system. This is their new 2000 series, a bit nicer than mine which is about 2 years old. The image is stolen from their website (sorry). Check them out at www.shoptask.com. Power supplied by 2 3/4 hp motors. 17" Swing over bed, 20" between centers. Mounting points for CNC drive. Real beauty, just wish it wasn't so durned YELLOW! |
| Here it is. The Man, The Myth, and The Machine. Finally set up in my shop and ready to begin work. Still a few hurdles, I've got a pretty limited selection of tooling, basically a set of end mills and turning tools. I'll be spending a few dollars in the coming weeks to add the items to the shop. |
