Hello:
My name is Johnny and I am from West Columbia SC I am the owner of Krantz Recreation. I'm looking to purchase a shotbot buddy 48 or a PRSstandard
48-48 not sure which one will be best for me that's where I hope this forum can help me. I will be making 30" x 36" playground safety signs made of recycled plastic and also will be making wildlife panels and such.
Thanks for the help Johnny

Hello and welcome Johnny...

I'm curious what your blank or raw material size is... do you have an easy way to get it to a size you can get on a smaller machine or should you be looking at a full size machine?

36" x 48" is going to be the largest

I would not consider anything smaller than the 48 x 48 machine.

Welcome to the forum. As close as you are to the home office I would take the time to schedule a visit and see all of the goodies before I made any final plans. They are great folks and will answer any questions you might have. My wife and I visited the facility and learned a lot. I am not an employee just a very satisfied customer. Russ

J.Kranz,
You definately need to attend the camp at Jims . It will definately be worth while

Make sure you go to the April meeting at Jim McGrew's. It will be well worth your time. Having an event like this in your own backyard is a real treat. (I'm flying in from California)

We had a 48x48 for about 5 years. We were able to do a lot of nice work on that machine, but we did have to pass on a few jobs because we couldn't cut full 4x8 sheets. If your normal raw materials are 4x4 or smaller the PRS should be a good tool.

First, Welcome! I can say this would be a good event to attend. We went last year, not sure yet if I can make it this year but it was well worth the trip and I'm below Atlanta.
