Pumping Station One has long had a rational need for a CNC machine capable of cutting parts out of metals such as aluminum, brass, and steel. At least two attempts have been made towards this end: Circa 4 years ago, a member donated a Grizzly mill with a ballscrew kit for CNC conversion. The motor on that machine burned out, and it has been defunct for the last 4-years. More recently, a vote was passed to fund the purchase of a used CNC mill. The funds allocated were only adequate for an older, non-operational machine. That vote resulted in the acquisition of the Bridgeport Series I Interact that currently resides in the shop.
