[Morris Dovey]

I just made my first routed sign using a ShopBot. I took a few photos during the course of the project and have posted them at the link below.

Frank...

In a nutshell, I had a wild urge to mass-produce solar heating panels and high-end woodworking benches - and decided that the 'Bot offered a number of advantages:

[1] CAD/CAM/CNC allow extremely rapid prototyping. [2] I could achieve consistantly higher quality than with other methods. [3] Labor costs are minimized. [4] I could capitalize on math/software/control system experience. [5] CNC production capacity is wonderfully scalable.
