Exciting Day in the Wood Shop

[Martin W]

Our new 5x10 CNC router arrived this week. Omnitech Selexx Pal Fixed table moving gantry with offloading and cleaning device. It has a 10hp router head variable speeds from 1000-24,000 RPM and 8 position automatic tool changer. 1 -2 hp multiple spindle vertical boring head. Fanuc Oi-MF PC front end controller.
This is very exciting for us. We build architectural millwork and hope this will be a great addition to the shop! Over the last couple months we have been putting the infistructure in to make this work. New 200 amp 208 volt 3 phase service, All new conduit and wiring in the shop. Full week of training next week before it goes into service
Cheers

Yes it will cut aluminum. We do have some call for aluminum or brass. Usually laminated to a substrate. Most of our work is plastic laminated plywood, MDF or particle core. .

Thanks, it weighs just under 10,000 pounds. I rarely take pictures of our work but I will post a couple. I found on my phone. First one is of 5 quarter sawn curved white oak doors complete with curved casings and mouldings all out of quartered white oak for a hotel. The doors don’t have a topcoat ,only stain and sealer in the pictureThe second is football change room in a local high school.
We have a handful of general contractors that we bid to. It is just my Son , my wife and me. My daughter used to work with us but she decided on a career as a paramedic instead
Cheers

Very cool Martin.
My good friend has a Shop Sabre of about the same size.
I am a member of a woodworking club in the area and one of our members is very good friends with the owner of --->Doors of Distinction<--- and we toured his job. Very cool work he was doing in there. VERY expensive.
