What our Wood Shop can do:
The woodshop is equipped to handle a wide range of woodworking tasks, from precise cutting and shaping to advanced joinery and finishing. With tools like table saws, band saws, routers, sanders, and drill presses, the shop can support both basic and complex woodworking projects.
A standout in the ESDC is the ShopBot PRS5 Alpha CNC router. This high-performance machine is designed for precision work on wood, plastic, and even soft metals. With its powerful motors and cutting-edge software, the PRS5 Alpha is perfect for creating intricate designs, custom furniture components, signage, and other detailed woodwork. It combines speed and precision, making it ideal for users needing repeatable accuracy on complex parts.
On top of that, the ESDC also has the Laguna 14 bx verticle bandsaw. This bandcut is also powerful and versatile which allows the users to make intricate cuts and curves. The bandsaw is also equipped with an adjustable guide system, a safety guide and a fence to assist with straight cuts.
Additionally, you can't forget our sanding tools. We have a JET oscillating psindle sander which is perfect for sanding curved or contoured edges on wood to produce an ultra smooth finish and prevent burn makrs on the work piece. Also, we have a disc and belt sander which sands large and small surfaces with percision.
