I am posting pictures of my Shark Pro Plus Modified. The deck is 62" long by 28" wide. The cutting area is 51" by 25 1/2"
I will be enclosing the top with panels.I will vent it with a fan and vacuum system.
I reversed the X and Y axises to give the right orientation for cutting long boards. As you see I have mounted the controller into a front panel of the cabinet.
I plan on using Oak boards to finish the top with either T-slots cut into the boards or T-track. . . haven't decided just yet . . .

Hmmmm, yes that is slick! Now you just need to tell us where you sourced the components.
BTW I looked at larger machines too, but figured our work would make use of the "extra" only about 5% of the time. Would be interesting to know how much "extra" went into your system?

As far as using the extra length I am planning on doing big signs, fireplace mantles, table carvings, and headboards. . .
Customizing baseboards for people would also be an interest.
I am contacting the responsible person to field the other questions on availability and pricing.
That is VERY bad a$$! What type of supports for the long axis? How do you order them like that? Can you get better motors? Sorry for twenty questions, but I sold my Pro to upgrade to the PLUS and i would sure prefer a set-up like that. Any chance you could post some pics of the different axis's?
If you notice I have outriggers with the casters on. . . I have two more to install which will give me a total of 6 casters with 275lb load carry on each. I tried unbalancing it and you can't get it to go over if you try . . .very stable.
That is a very nice setup. I am new to the forum, so I am doing research on how I would like to setup my system. Your post has given me a lot of great ideas. I will be looking forward to updates on how your setup performs.

I am extremely satisfied with the system . . . look at my other posts to see some of the things I have done with it.. . if the forum didn't have that picture size limit that you have to give effort to resize and post I would have more postings.
Just too awesome. That long runway can come in handy.
