Anyone get the CNC Shark Yet?
Took a good look at the shopbot buddy...you really can't get that much under $8k. Was wondering if anyone had a chance to work on the CNC Shark yet and if there was any feedback.
Other option would be Compucarve but I really don't want to speed more time fixing than working!

That would be ME... Mr. Hard Core CarveWright.... Digitalwoodshop on the CarveWright Forum.
I would be interested in your machine when cash flow picks up... for my 4th....
I am a Mr. Fix It when it comes to the machine.
And yes, someday I would love to have a Shop Bot.
The bulk of my Business is making Fire Department Stuff like Accountability Tags and Tag Clip Boards. I am working on a Vacuum Sled to use the CarveWright for cutting sheet stock into 1.5 x 3, 1.5 x 4 and 2.x 3 FRP Tags.
Plus I do signs with it and have a good market.
The machine is not for everyone.
My website and email are in my profile.
Thanks,
