CNC Shark Forum

Most business' who are in it full time charge by the hour. It's kind of hard to do that with the Shark in my opinion because it cuts much slower than machines used by others. It took trial and error over time to see what people would pay. You also have to consider material costs, mistakes, electrici...

I always found that if you left a little gap between bristles and work surface, it would deflect the router and it would allow better suction for dust control.

milo30- That is a very good price for your shop.That being said, I already have a shop but would be interested in the Shark if you are willing to seperate it from the other items.

I found one about 15 minutes from me that sells router bits and saw blades. They carry mainly whiteside and I can buy 2 for what ...

I'd recommend that you don't move too far ahead in trying to buy bits. Usually it comes with a .5" 90 deg. Once you start using the machine you will learn if a bit doesn't perform well and you need to buy another. It is very easy to start buying bits and find that you never used them.
