Hello Everyone,
This is my first post. I have been a woodworking hobbyist for many years, and have acquired quite a few tools (or toys) as my wife says. I've been thinking about door headers and mantle pieces made out of MDF. Is this the machine for me?

Thank you for this informative forum. I've already learned alot just browsing.

I recently met Wes at the shopbot camp this past weekend in Marietta. When he says "yes" it is akin to those old EF Hutton ads and everyone listens. The Shopbot is perfect for what you need. Furthermore, Wes sells a software called DoorBot that automates what you are trying to do at an extremely reasonable price!!!!

Tim,
Yes....but...if you are looking to do 3D grape leaves and relief patterns, be aware that the software to do so is another investment.

The shopbot can do anything that any other 3-axis router can do at just about any price. Of course, you need the proper software to tell these 3-axis machines what to do...and the more sophisticated the part, the more $ you will spend on software.
