[foamcutter]

Trent,
Thanks for the compliment. Can it be cut with CNC router, well I'm soon to find out for sure, as that is just what I'm building my router for. I really don't see any reason why not as long as you understand it's little quirks and challenges. And it does have some distinct quirks and challenges to work with. I will have my machine done before the end of this month. I am doing some test cutting and etc with a small home built router now. It really depends on what you want to do with it.


Jerry,
Thanks for the kind words. I have found 3 suppliers in the USA and one in Canada that seem to be reasonable in price for Alabaster. The stone really isn't all that expensive but the shipping gets you, it costs as much or more to ship it as it does to buy it. Send me a PM and I will tell you more about the suppliers and challenges with getting the stone. Different people say it weighs from just under 100 pounds per cubic foot to just under 200 pounds per cubic foot, so freight is a major consideration. Also there are some real precautions one should take when working with this stone, like face shield and mask so you don't breath any of the extremely fine dust produced. Anyway if your serious about trying some, PM me and we can visit about what your getting yourself in for. Ron
