Music to my ears, Gene! I hope to get my new shop up in the spring and try to get my old PR running again!
Good to see you staying so busy!

Would the builder mind if you could post a photo of the panels installed and finished . That would be great to see the finished product:)

Nice how are you going to glue the glass in place or are you filling with something.
like the looks.
I cant wait to see them done with light coming from behind them. is the glass going to be sandwiched between the frames?
door panels ready for delivery, half of which were cut by the pr that refuses to be outdone by the other machine...

atta boy, Gene :D

keep going like that and we will see a 3rd cnc . keep up the good work:)
How would you rate the pr to the other machine in terms of speed and accuracy?
both machines rock !! the pr refuses to be outdone and the china machine has been a serious workhorse...I don't really compare the two, each has it's own function
