I moved to Indianapolis a couple years ago and my Shopbot benchtop has been sitting in storage collecting dust. I have hopes of starting up my sign business again but that could still be a ways off. A local sign shop has shown some interest in renting my bot but I have no idea where to start. I have a lightly used 1996 24"x32" benchtop with an HSD 2.2hp spindle and 2hp Grizzly dust collector. I was thinking of charging monthly rent but would like some advice as to how much to charge. Also based on the value of the equipment should I charge a security deposit...if so, how much? I would also set up the equiptment and train an employee with past CNC experience how to operate the machine. Any and all help and advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!!!
