Have done a cursory web search on this - not much found, other than DIY palm router inventions.
What I have: PRSAlpha 9660 2.2HP spindle. Very happy with dovetail, mortise /tenon joinery operations off end of table.
What I'd like is a dedicated CNC joinery station, featuring:
PRSAlpha grade mechanisms
Fixed bed, moving gantry
Work table roughly 36x36
Stand-up work height, 42-48" minimum which will also allow for end milling of larger scale furniture parts.
I have air clamp systems on hand that could be employed for vertical operations.
Naturally, I look to Shopbot for their standard offerings, but a buddy is closest thing to what I've described. However, I believe the moving table would be problematic for this type of processing.
Any one else build such an animal?
Would a desktop be a simpler solution?
How about a CNC kit I could build to suit?
