I've had a wonderful time with my ShopBot Desktop that I got in 2011 and still works totally fine to this day and I've been saving-up to buy a PRSstandard for quite a while but recently a friend of mine put his top of the line Shopbot PRT apha for sale and I'm torn. I'm due for something far bigger now - Desktop is being kept, it's wonderful for small parts.

The PRT apha would be a fraction of the price of a brand new PRSstandard with a lot of extra bells and whistles but I don't know how much more life is left in the PRT or what issues it had before things moved onto the PRS???

I really can't find much documentation about the PRT systems or even if they are upgradable to PRS???

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Jon
