Found this link in Computeredge magazine. Don't know how to put in the link itself so will post it in dot com.

it would work , it says it can handle" work pieces up to 14.5 inches wide, 5 inches high, and almost any length desired (using appropriate auxiliary support). "

That's an extreamely impressive machine.

So long as it has the power and the rigidity for deeper cuts it would work well for one side of the blade.

The other side of the blade would have to cast into a block to regain the origonal board shape then removed after the second side is complete.

Without having seen it run in real life I would be skeptical of its usefulness for anything beyond relief carving as it's not very heavy looking but the design of the machine is a rigid design concept.(Gantry style head provides support on both sides of the head as appossed to a C-frame design).

I'm impressed with the software, the touchsetter and especially the probe.

In a somewhat larger machine with a cast iron frame this would be very impressive.

I'm betting power and chatter would be a limiting factor though.

Price seems reasonably good.

thanks for the post Jim.

I see you are in Denver. I am in Broomfield. I am always looking to meet other like minded people and share ideas.
