Desktop Tools Safety and Precautions

WARNING! Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and specifications provided with this

power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire, and/or

serious injury.

Save all warnings and instructions for future reference. Refer to the General Power Tool Safety

Warnings document sent with the User’s Guide.

Learn and understand safe use of the machine. Do not allow untrained individuals to

operate the machine without supervision. Be aware of the location of the Emergency

Stop switches at all times.

Eye and ear protection MUST be worn by the machine operator as well as any

bystanders or observers. Flying sawdust, material chips, and other debris can cause

serious eye injury.

Wear closed-toe shoes at all times.

Make sure that your material is properly secured before cutting, and be aware of any

small parts that may come loose after being cut. If a small part catches the edge of a

spinning bit, it can be thrown forcefully in any direction, causing injury or damage.

Never place your hands on the rails of the ShopBot. Be aware that the machine may

move unexpectedly in any direction, which can cause serious injury if your hands are

in the path of movement.

Never wear gloves while operating the machine. As with any power tool, a glove can

get caught in moving or spinning parts and pull your hand into the machinery.

Never leave a machine running and unattended. Understand that a spinning tool

generates friction and heat, creating a risk of fire. This risk is minimized by using

correct chip load, using sharp bits, and by always double-checking your files before

cutting. Be prepared to pause or stop the cut if something seems incorrect or unsafe.

Keep a working fire extinguisher within reach of the machine, for the reasons listed

above.

Getting Started

Desktop MAX ATC with T-Slot Aluminum Deck option

What’s in the Crate?

The ShopBot Automatic Tool Changer (ATC) automates the bit changing process during projects

that require multiple tool changes. The ATC reduces the time a project must remain on the

machine by automatically changing bits between cuts, thus eliminating the need to change and

calibrate tools by hand.

The ATC system includes:

● 1HP Teknomotor spindle

● Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) spindle controller

● Filter/regulator for pneumatics

● Seven-position tool bar

● Removable dust skirt

● ATC interface circuit board (inside machine)

● Machine and Accessory documentation

● USB drive loaded with SB3 control software

The 1HP Teknomotor spindle assembly is fan-cooled. The ATC requires 4 scfm at 90 psi of clean,

dry, un-oiled compressed air.

It is not recommended to leave a tool holder in the ATC spindle when not using the machine. When

you are done using the machine all tool holders should be removed and stored in the tool rack at

the rear of the tool.

What’s in the Crate (cont.)

Uncrating

Your Desktop MAX ATC has arrived on a wooden pallet wrapped in a heavy cardboard crate. To

open the crate, cut the steel banding and remove any accessory boxes from the top of the crate

then lift the lid off of the top of the crate.

Inside, you will find a cardboard frame resting on top of your machine. On top of this frame will be

some additional accessory boxes as well as the box containing this document. Remove these

additional boxes and lift the cardboard frame off of the machine. Next, remove the sides of the

crate – there may be some screws driven through the cardboard at the base of the crate, securing

it to the wooden pallet below; remove these screws to allow the crate sides to be removed from the

pallet. With the crate sides removed, it will be easier to lift the machine off of the foam supports

between it and the wooden pallet.

CAUTION! The Desktop MAX ATC can weigh up to 180lbs depending on which options have been

selected for the machine, please use at least two people to lift the machine off of the pallet to

transfer it to your work area.

Once the tool is in place on your work bench, adjust the leveler feet so that the machine is level

and does not rock. The feet can be raised and lowered by using a 5/8" wrench to rotate the hex

collar just above the black plastic foot. Once the machine is confirmed level and stable, lock the

position of the feet by using a 9/16” wrench to tighten the lock nut on the threaded stud.

Connecting the Dust Hose

The dust hose included with your machine should first be connected to the upper portion of your

dust shroud assembly. Slide one end of the hose over the clear acrylic tube next to your spindle.

Run the tube up to the blue dust hose bracket and secure it to the bracket with the included hose

clamp by passing the clamp through the two slots in the bracket and tightening it around the dust

hose. The other end of your dust hose can now be attached to your dust collection vacuum.

Connecting the Pneumatics

Locate the filter/regulator included with your tool. Inside the bag will be a mounting bracket and two

M5x12mm Button Head Screws. First, attach the mounting bracket to the rear of the tool on the

corner opposite the red power switch. Remove the plastic nut from the regulator and drop the

regulator into the bracket and thread the nut onto the regulator to lock it in place. Pull the blue main

pneumatics hose from under the tool and insert it into the orange quick-connect fitting. Plug your

shop’s air-line into the fitting on the left side of the filter.

Software and Computer Configuration

Introduction

The PC running ShopBot 3 will require special setup to prevent normal Windows and background

processes from interfering with tool communication and operation. All new PCs will require these

changes to their out-of-the-box state in order to optimize performance.

It is highly recommended that you exclusively run the ShopBot software from a dedicated PC. If the

PC running your tool is managed by an IT department or other group, we also advise a clean install

of Windows without any management software or settings. This will ensure that the computer is at

minimal usage.

Refer to the previous page for links to videos on how to configure your computer with Windows.

ShopBot tools are shipped with three software programs that can program, edit, and run part files.

This section covers the configuration of your Windows computer, installation of all software and

provides a basic overview of the ShopBot control software. Additional information and training can

be found in the control software “Help” menu as well as ShopBottools.com and Vectric.com.

The following software will be installed during this section:

ShopBot 3: Control software used to operate the ShopBot tool and run part files.

ShopBot Editor: Enhanced text editing software used to view and edit ShopBot part files.

VCarve Pro – ShopBot Edition: CAD/CAM software used to create and edit designs, and assign

tool paths to create part files.
