Exciting news! Today at IWF (the International Woodworking Fair) in Atlanta, Rockler introduced the newest member of the CNC Shark family: the CNC Shark Pro Plus!
There are loads of new features on this machine, including:
Enhanced controller with more power that allows up to 200 inches per min
More travel on the machine max cut of 25 x 25 x 5 inch
Automatic on and off software control of Router
Professional Aluminum case with Push button Estop
Pendant control capability included
Cut 3D software included ($300 Value!)
20 3D models, font and graphic package provided
Extended Aluminum T slot top (28-1/2'' x 36'') for more versatile clamping
Precision lead Screws with anti backlash on all axis
Well I just ordered one! (They are available Sept.1) I thought I could get photocarve from Rockler too, but I guess we have to get that from nextwave? (anybody, correct me if I'm wrong!).
The probe should work with this one too? (Haven't ordered it yet). Any recommendations for other stuff?
Tks folks! Really looking forward to this....green as anything....my wife and I have been in the wood biz for years, but have never "cnc'd" anything in our lives!
I purchased a new collect nut and 1/4" and 1/8" collects from them. Also purchased 1/8 ball nose cutters from them. I have Aspire and V-carve software so I use about all the cutters listed on the tool selection list.
I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work.
