Do you have the specs and pictures of the 4-axis Shark Pro System, yet?

[Tim Owens]

We are launching the HD version of the shark next month then we will look at getting the Rotay going.
We have a conversion kit for a small lathe and some electronics to make it work with our controller.
you can machine 25 inches at a time on this version.
This is a picture of it at the July Show in Vegas

This has merit for little things -- and could be good for pen making. The bulk of the add-on is a one of the small mini-lathes (ex Jet 1014) along with a stepper motor to rotate the work piece on its axis. This could be a bit pricey. Any idea of the projected price range for the upgrade to a Shark Pro Plus?

Wow looks great. I want one. Now someone needs to get on the horn with KentCNC and get them cranking out a collector shoe for It! That would be impressive!

We have just finished updating the current manual and current controller to version 1.5.0.22. We are now actively working on the 4th axis system and other add ons. That is our current focus for this quarter.
