1. The Barracuda mill doesn't have a built-in coolent system. It really doesn't need one.
2. The controller/board etc is built into the machine itself on the back. I should have some pictures in the coming weeks on our website that will show you what I'm talking about.
3. There are double-acting, angular thrust bearings on all axis.
4. The Z-Axis torque is 250-300 oz/inch.
5. Continuous torque output is 240 oz/inch peak. 30 oz/inch continuous torque.
6. The Ballscrews are Isel German precision ballscrews on all 3 axis.

That's it for now. Our website at www.bobcad.com has been updated. Have a look. Currently the machine has brought about some awesome interest and quotes are leaving the building at a pretty good rate. For now the price is going to stay the same at $11,995.00 for the complete package. I am looking into financing for customers that need it. Does anyone recommend anyone that offers good service in this area?
Sincerely,
CNC Dude

CNCdude,
do you plan to show us demo clip or pictures of the Barracuda in action in the (near?) future?

Hi Klox,

Does this mean that you will be marketing it towards woodworking and/or nonferrous metalworking?

Most mills I have seen don't have a built in cooling system why does this one need one?
