I believe this is the same kind of rig that Gene B uses and if so it has enormous capability. I have no idea what working order this piece of equipment may be in but with the starting bid at $100 it would be worth some investigating if you're in the market for a honking huge CNC machine. The govdeals site does require free registration if you're going to bid and all of the terms and such can be viewed along with the item description if your serious about this.
Shop-Bot CNC Router The governement surplus store location is in my hometown so if anyone does go for this I'll be happy to help you load it. It looks pretty heavy.
Anyhoo, I thought this may be of interest to any pit builders in the general vicinity. Later,
