Solarbotics & Sherline at the Robot...
Solar botics
March 19, 2001
Solarbotics Ltd. is now a distributor of Sherline Machine Tool Products , and to inaugurate this arrangement, Solarbotics and Sherline are teaming up to bring a 5400 Mill package to the Western Canadian Robot Games for fundraising! We're providing the WCRG with this excellent high-quality mill ($921 CDN / $650 USD Retail) to use as a prize for a fund-raising event. This will most likely be a silent auction, so if you've ever wanted one of these, come to the games April 6 & 7, see it in action (we'll be demonstrating all weekend), and place your bid!
Stay tuned for the initial release of our Sherline Price List, but if you are interested, give us a shout, and we'd be happy to set you up with a quote.
