Folks -
Well, in spite of the putty-butts at the freight company, our new 'Bot arrives tomorrow. The shop isn't quite ready yet, so we are going to set it up in the garage until we finish the shop interior.
My question, is how tall is a 'bot with a standard table and a spindle? It looks taller than the setup with a router? How high is the arch of the umbilical? We have a garage door opener and are hoping that we aren't going to get into any clearance trouble with the gantry or the arch. I have 7' under the lowest part of the garage door opener motor, and it is 8' from the wall. We are getting a 60"x96" 'bot with a 3hp spindle.
My Father in Law is making the table, but we'd rather not make the table lower than standard if we can avoid it, since the machine will be in the shop within the next few months.
Gentlemen, grab your tape measures!
Thanks in advance...
