I am building a CNC Router using precision slides and anti-backlash screws to optimise repeatabilty. Not that there is an inherent problem with the Shopbot, I am planning on doing precision cutting of mother of pearl and abalone inlays that may be beyond the units level of precision.
Can the Shopbot OS work with a machine that is based on Gecko G210 drives and Superior KML091F13 stepper motors.
In particular I like the digitizing probe and software available from Shopbot for future 3D modeling work
