I picked up the ShopBot from their factory in North Carolina in January. This unit is capable of cutting 32" wide and 96" in length with a plunge of about 5". On this model the router on the y-axis moves on a gantry with the x-axis movement is achieve by moving the entire bed. This is a smaller machine than your standard 4x8foot version but it needs 16feet of floor space for the bed to travel back and forth.I have spent a bunch of time experimenting and getting comfortable with the controls. I have some experience with ShopBots from VCU, we bought one the last year I was there.

The width of the reservoir at any point determines the depth of this type of cut. This path type is usually used for text on signs.
