It seems in many cases groups of shapers will share the use of a CNC shaping machine.
Many top shapers are developing their art using software and CNC shaping machines.
I want to find out if I can buy time on such a machine.
I want to;
-
get hold of the software and learn how to use it
-
electronically design my shape at home on my PC
-
take my data file and hire a CNC shaping machine to shape a blank
-
take the shaped blank home and finish it off
-
glass it and whack fins on it
-
surf it
Is this possible?
Can anyone provide me with the contact details of the owner of a CNC shaping machine who leases it out on a per board or hourly basis in NSW Australia between Coffs Harbour and Sydney Harbour?
Please don’t say “Hey get yourself a planer!” It is a valid point, but I want to go the CNC route if practical. I believe in this way I will get better results faster and develop designs more efficiently.
