Sawdust Beast LIVES


Tired of calibrating depth on your dovetails, wrangling right angles off your saw, fitting fences to dado cuts, measuring hole locations? Want to add 3D features to your panels, cut architectural moldings, or simply ensure your work reflects your vision without years of skill development? Well, grab some 3D CAD software, pop your design into a CAM package to generate tool paths, and load up your fancy shmancy CNC machine! How could I refuse? With an automatic tool changer, 12" of Z travel, and powerful servo drives, this monster squeezed itself into the shop last month and promises to put my boys through college! Now, if I can just get it to hold onto its IP address after a reboot. Fun, fun fun - a marriage of art and technology - I am in heaven.

Special thanks to my beautiful wifey - she's excited, too.
