    If you want to see what we do here just go to www.kromet.com.

    Our setups are a shunk pin type system where we drop custom fixtures into place.

    We have a custom machined 1" table which our shopbot machined. We have installed a 21 gallon coolant tank with custom troughs and a filtration system to separate the aluminum from the coolant. We have installed guarding and light curtains for safety. We are turning the shopbot from a hobby toy into a state of the art machining operation.

    When I do get sometime out in the shop I will post pictures of our set up.
