    Default PRO 4824 Build in Tennessee

    I've been running a Probotix V90 since 2011 . . . decided it was finally time to upgrade. I pulled the trigger (actually, typed in the CC#) last week and the first parts have arrived.

    I live in Collierville, TN . . . about 3 hours west of Nashville.
    .
    I built my V90 from the kit and added several upgrades myself. I learned ALOT about CNC but decided that this time around I'd skip the educational journey and get straight to the wood chips.
    .
    BTW - I'm selling my V90 "turn-key" - everything south of the power strip (except software licenses) in case anyone knows someone looking for a great starting machine.

    Any info and pictures of the machine? I might know one guy but I'm not sure if he wants an entry level or skip to a nicer machine, maybe he doesn't even know.

    Have fun with the build so you can get to making chips sooner than later.

    - Z touch-off plate
    - SuperPID router RPM control
    - 17" x 12" x 3" envelope
    - Think & Tinker collet for 1/4" and 1/8" bits
    - Angle iron supports for spoil board
    - Blind nut hold downs on spoil board (can't remember off-hand what thread, but larger than 1/4-20)
    - Bosch Colt router spindle with SuperPID control from Mach 3
    - Other little upgrades I've made but take for granted now . . .

    Actually, there is a Maker's Club in Bartlett. They have a 4' x 4' CNC machine that is really close to ready. They also have a laser cutter, vinyl cutter, and a couple 3D printers.

    Harsh lesson learned today about the UPS Store. I wasn't sure about my schedule this week, so I had Cory ship the boxes to my local UPS Store instead of my house. When the boxes got in, the store manager called me to notify me that it would cost $5 per box ($30 total) before they would release my shipment. To say I was a little miffed would be an understatement, but since they were basically holding my router hostage I had no*choice but to pay them. When I get there . . . to add insult to injury . . . . they wouldn't let me pay the $30 ransom in one shot. I HAD TO PAY SIX SEPARATE $5 TRANSACTIONS to get my boxes.
