I was expecting to see a drum.
What is a CNC router? I could probably google it and find out, but if everyone googles everything, questions will go extinct. I am just doing my part.

Full disclosure: We started reformatting the Guru drums business structure a couple of years ago, & this represents the final phase. Essentially, there are two businesses. Dean owns & runs the shell shop in Teeside, whereas I run the finishing shop in Herefordshire & own the majority share in Guru Drums. At the finishing shop, we take care of everything other than making raw shells (Drum building, design, parts sourcing/manufacture, commercial, demonstration room, etc). At Dean's shell shop, he crafts the raw shells, but also takes on other carpentry work. Dean has relocated his shop, doubled it's size, & invested heavily in equipment like this. There's no way the Guru drum business could come close to justifying facilities like this on a stand alone basis. One day maybe, but for now - no. We think it's a viable direction, & Guru Drums gets facilities that are out of reach of the small builder. Bought new, this is a $300,000 machine (of course, Dean sourced this as a recent but used machine in immaculate condition).Man you really don't cut corners. You continue to impress me with your dedication.
Thank you for your (expected) humorous replies

Give us a chance, we've only just progressed from Groats, Farthings, & Crowns to Guineas!!!!!Your in Herefordshire right? Here in Worcestershire we are still using the old GBP, I had no idea I would have to change currency on my next visit to Hereford. When did this happen???
Indeed - epic replyzing !

Ok, ya got me I quote here in $ sometimes because it's easier than answering the frequent question "how much is that in UDS Andy".

We go heavy on all our machines. My radial arm drill press weighs 1/3 ton, & have you seen the size of Dean's lathe?Anyways. Nice machine (I love machines, I do) That baby should stay true without much tinkering. Its so big and solid that movement or vibration should never compromise accuracy once set up.
Wow! A sunny day in England.
