Shapeoko 2 Available for Pre-Order

Looks like they've improved on most of the complaints you hear about with the original... I'm strongly considering it, but still not sure. I'd love to route wood more than I want to mill PCB's, so it's probably not the perfect machine for me...

With every machine I drool over, I mainly want it in order to build the next bigger one :) It's CNC for the sake of CNC. It's a vicious numerically controlled cycle.

Probably OK for milling through-hole PCBs, but I don't know that a Dremel tool is the best way to do high trace density and surface-mount parts.
