[Vanhackspace] Good news, everybody! (CNC Update)

[Karl]

I will donate my 3A /117V compressor to the cause. 
It will need an airtank to drive that tool. I'd suggest one of those portable tanks that Princess / Canadian tire sells.

My question is does anybody have an air compressor they'd be willing to donate to the space (minimum 1.5HP, according to Sherline, who also sells their version of this generic chinese grinder as an upgrade for their cnc mill)  If not, I can get one, but I'd rather not buy one if someone already has one.
