Hi Kent Norway,
I recently ordered a Excitech machine myself (SHG 1312),delievery around the new year Iam hoping.
I ordered this machine for a similar reason down the track(in the future),as the SHG 1312
has 200mm clearance with the gantry,which I believe you could setup the fouth axis under.
The SHG0609 and the SHG1212 only have 100mm or so of clearance,so could be a bit tight.
On Excitech website the SHG1312 is not shown,if you select the Chinese Link,you will see it there ..(in Chinese of course),but from previous posts ,it looks like they will custom make what youre after.
As I havnt received it yet Iam unsure how they have set up the drives etc.
But Iam sure if you reconfigured it with gecko drives and run them under Mach3 software
you would have what youre after.
Regards
