-''the past! to be archived''
-A few sudoers have started a goal to find, borrow, buy, or build a new CNC mill that can cut a standard 4' x 8' sheet of plywood (1.219m x 2.438m). The intention is to save time, money, and sanity to create furniture, free-standing structures, and various projects like large-scale art pieces. Also it will be a lot of fun to make / install / maintain such a machine!
-==Research==
-So far, I have only found designs, kits, and proprietary mills that cost in the $3,000 - $4,000 range:

-* $$$ http://www.shopbottools.com/ expensive professional CNC routers
-Perhaps we can find a used or second-hand mill that we can re-purpose? Keeping our eyes out.
