Hello my name is Pat, its been 2 years since my last shopbot...

2 years ago, I moved to Washington to go work for XBOX/Microsoft.
I had to sell my PRTAlpha (to Tony Hazen) that was all souped up.... (I kept my bit collection).

Last week, I ordered a Desktop with Spindle due to space constraints of my "shop" (aka wife's garage)...

It should fit exactly on top of my custom Norm Abram designed router table....

Router going into table saw.

I can hardly wait...

Pat, You'll love the Desktop, Especially as no set-up and you'll probably be cutting the same day!!! Bill Young offered a wedging Desktop design to use the entire cutting area and Bob D. sent me a pic yesterday and looks very versatile. Plan on copying but with threaded inserts instead of dowels and using nylon bolts.http://www.talkshopbot.com/forum/showthread.php?t=19057&highlight=desktop+jiggingGood timing with the extra Z:) Hope you don't mind me posting pic Bob?
