Or would that interfere with the gantry and router mount? Just wondering.

Re: 4th axis preview date
I recently purchased a shark and keep hearing about a 4th axis saw an old you-tube video talking about it but, nothing other than that. Does anyone know when or if they are going to come out with a 4th axis for the shark?
Re: 4th axis preview date
Rockler should have it by Dec for an attachment. We will preorder soon.

Re: 4th axis preview date
It hasn't been released yet as the control software is still in test - not ready for release. And I don't have an estimate of when it will be resolved - but there is activity, and hardware being produced for sale.

Re: 4th axis preview date
4D you just beat me to it. lol Just got the email a few minutes ago.
4th axis is on the web site and can be ordered (so it says) March 1, 2015 (yes in just two weeks)
I'm really looking forward to hearing what you all have to say about it. Can't wait.

Well COOL BEANS!
I'll be happy to be a guinea pig on this one.
I truly hope the date is a real date.
