We're back from Christmas break and cranking up production. The BLDC spindle design is being finalized. We're looking forward to a productive new year.
The new BLDC spindle is looking great! We did some work with a more permanent mount tonight. It is very sweet, might need to add some filtered ventilation. In the end bores were made at 50 IPM with 1/4" of material removed per pass.

We are very happy with our first tests of the new BLDC (brushless DC) spindle. So far we've produced a dramatic increase in speed. Make sure to watch the video all the way to the end to see the difference.
We have just finished putting up the product page for our new micRo-kit. This is a DIY kit that you put together. The work you do yourself reduces the price in a major way! The micRo-kit is $599 (compared to $1294 for an assembled micRo v3). To make it even more affordable we've started the Robot Club. You can purchase your micRo-kit in 3 parts at one month intervals. Each time you make a payment of $199(+s&h) we ship you one part of the kit.
