+=== Machine history ===
+The Precix CNC was originally pitched by Scott Y. on Feb 7th, 2020. It's purchase for the spaced was voted during the Feb 20th, 2020 meeting.
+The machine arrived at Protospace on Mar 26th, 2020.
+Over the next year the machine was idle due to the 2020 COVID-19 Pandemic.
+During this time Members Connor G. , Danny P. and Zachary J. started to work though the machine and evaluate it's condition and begin it's acceptance work. This work is documented on the admin google group post "CNC router planning/build thread", authored by Zachary J.
+Going though the machine it was found that the X and Y motors were both burned out and had to be replaced. The encoders on all axis were replaced and the motor drivers were also all replaced. The controller computer, and interface cards were also replaced at this time due to poor/wanting/or no documentation on parts or interfaces.
+On May 8th 2021 the CNC made it's first official project, a 4' x 5' art piece that is hanging somewhere in Protospace (can you find it?).
+The first training session has yet to be held at the date of writing (06.01.2021)
