This is no joke. I spent my morning today assessing the condition of machine shop. Among the equipment was a Mazatrol turning center. This machine had listed a current draw of 35 amps on a 480v 3 phase circuit. Make sure you know your power requirements and other services and compare them to what you have in your shop.

How much money do you have to support the team over the next five years?

Do you need to spend the $10,000 immediately?

What are your expenses? What is your projected sponsorship? How many sponsors do you have?

Also do not forget compressed air. Many CNCs need compressed air. Some even require an air dryer.

This one actually required an offboard hydraulic pump as well.
