I have been reading this forum for a couple of years now trying to learn all I can about the Shopbot. I will be going to the wood show in Atlanta later this month and plan to spend most of my time at the Shopbot Booth.
I plan to retire soon and am thinking this would be a good time to buy a Shopbot. I have been in woodworking most of my adult life and I own an Epilog Laser Engraver purchased in 2004.
The PRS Alpha with a 4HP Spindle looks like a nice machine and will allow me to add the tool changer if I decide to use the Shopbot for production.
One application I have in mind for the Shopbot is to make items to donate for local fund raising events for seniors, children, churches or other worthwhile charities. This would allow me to enjoy making what I want to make at my own pace.
Any suggestions on the Shopbot purchase or ideas on projects will be much appreciated. I’m also sure there will be a lot of questions once I get the Shopbot and start using it.
