It is like a news week that just keeps on giving!
I’ve known about this being in development for quite some time, but now it has been seen in the wild for the first time, I can let ya’all know!
Thanks to Larry from Lazy Larry Woodworks for use of the photos and info (lucky bugger got to see it first!)
So, new from the inventor of the Torque Workcentre, we have this little puppy:

Now that is one heavy duty, large CNC machine that will soon be available! One of these in your shed will cost around the $9k-$10k mark according to Larry (don’t have any more official word at this stage).
It is reported as being fast: over twice the speed of the CNC Shark Pro.
It isn’t your average shed tool, but you look at this beast, and immediately see an income generator. Not limited to signwriting either – don’t limit your imagination!

In saying that, the signs you can produce are pretty stunning! These have been produced on the machine by a signmaker called Bruce, from Queensland who has been working with Keith on this machine (not sure if it has a name as yet). Contact to Bruce if you want one of his signs can be done through Larry and the link provided

Seeing what it can do in 3D is quite mind blowing, and again, the ability to produce more than just signs is blatantly obvious. Some pretty sophisticated furniture component fabrication would be well within the machine’s capacity, and given the overall scale of the machine it would make this very feasible. Kid’s toys, part duplication, it is all looking amazing.

I expect there will be a lot more information coming out about this machine over the next few months: thanks to Larry for the above, we have our first taste.
Keith: unbelievable! Congratulations 
(Update: there will be comparisons drawn between this and the CNC Shark. FWIW, this is what the shark pro looks like)
Quite a difference in scale and capacity…speed!
