I talked to somebody (sorry, I don't remember his name) at the Wood Working Show in Mesquite a few weeks ago and thought some of the stuff on the table was pretty cool.I would like to start my CNC router table pretty soon, around the 2ft x 4ft size. I could use some pointers if y'all are willing to help.Thanks in advance. I followed a link from North Texas CNC Users Group to here.

I would like to start my CNC router table pretty soon, around the 2ft x 4ft size. I could use some pointers if y’all are willing to help.

Thanks in advance.

Unfortunately they're already in someone's house and we didn't take any in-progress pictures, so I am going to have to wait a while to get some good pictures. I’ve got pictures coming soon.

It's very impressive. Looks roughly like this but slightly bigger: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Mechanical_Shear_4310.jpg They hit the floor trigger and the piece of metal is instantly cut, with perfect edges.

You can find other examples here: http://www.antekinc.com/Basically this provides higher voltages than say a computer power supply. This model specifically outputs 56V. It also has a pair of regulated outputs at 5V and 12V for any extra things we might need to provide power to.The break-out board we are using will take 80V and also requires 120V, so we run the 56V from the power supply and then the 120V directly from the wall.

What is that? I've not seen a PS like that before if it is. Is the thing with the big circular coil part of the power supply? What is that? I’ve not seen a PS like that before if it is.
