[Noisebridge-discuss] laser cutter.... CNC plasma cutter for the boxshop

[Mark Cohen]

Neither the BoxShop or TechShop are easily accessible for me as well  
as others I am sure. Also, to use TechShop's equipment, you have to  
pay substantial dues. (I don't know what BoxShop charges)

I'd like to see NB get some really nice fab machinery, it would only  
improve the work that comes out of NB.

Just my .02.
