Turn on the mains transformer black box connected to the mains. The following sequence walks through the steps to turn on and off the machine.ġ. If your material is 20mm and you spot Z=-30.0 this means that assuming zero is at the top of material stock, you will be cutting through the stock into the base of the machine. Negative values typically imply cutting through the material stock. In addition run through the point to point motion list and verify the the Z-values are reasonable. In particular, verify the initialization and termination sequence if well clear off the material and machine table.

You may injure yourself, break the equipment or even cause building hazards.Īlways visually inspect the machine code file for errors that may cause havoc. In particular this machine is not made for cutting metals and other hard materials.
Do not try to cut material that you have not attempted before or without the advice and presence of an expert user. Be very careful when using clamps or other positioning contraptions that may collide with the machine head. Do not leave loose objects such as pens, rulers, tools within the work envelope of the machine. As a conservative rule of the thumb do not cut deeper than the tool’s diameter. Do not take deep cuts with harder materials or small diameter tools as they may break off and fly about. Seek the advice for an experienced person. Do not use very low speed either as accumulated heat due to friction may cause fire hazards when cutting flammable materials such as woods and plastics. Do not use high speeds especially with hard material and/or small diameter tools. Always start with lower cutting speeds (such as 1000mm/min for soft material) and increase progressively after testing iterations. Let it cool off for a few minutes and then change it. Due to friction the tool gets often pretty hot and you may burn your finger. Never touch the tool bit after cutting is complete. When changing the machine’s tool bit, always make sure you have tightened the tool collet sufficiently to ensure that the bit will not fly while cutting. Either pressing the spacebar, any mouse button or the physical red switch will force the machine to immediately halt. You need to be always in proximity of the keyboard, mouse or the emergency stop switch. Do not leave the machine unattended or distract yourself while the Shopbot is running. You can pause the machine program to make adjustments. Do not put your hands within the work envelope of the machine while it is active / moving. This will prevent debris from fly out of the work envelope of the machine and put a physical barrier between you and the tool. Never remove the safety fence from the machine and always place the front cover back before you start cutting. 
Material is chipped off and may reach you even if you are at what you may consider safe distance or protected behind the safety fence. The spindle rotates at about over 10,000 times per minute.
When cutting using the router head always wear the safety goggles. If for whatever reason you cannot focus or concentrate it is not advisable to use such equipment. Avoid using machines such as the Shopbot when you are not in a good physical or mental condition. In general it is a good practice to always have have somebody around in case something goes wrong. For the first 10 machine hours always use the equipment in the presence of another person who is trained in using it. This tutorial does not substitute the experience of somebody who have used CNC machines extensively. 
If you have never used the machine before do not attempt to operate it without the instructions of trained person.The equipment’s condition if damaged is less important than your health. If something goes wrong be prepared to use the first aid kit and immediately seek for help.If you have not gone through formal training do not attempt to follow the instructions below on your own. They are neither complete nor exhaustive but offer some typical use case precautions. Ute proper hands-on training with an experienced operator. Shopbot is one of the simplest CNC machines to setup and run but nevertheless it is paramount take a few key points in consideration with regards to safety. The information provided below is in support of our in-class training sessions. The objective of this tutorial is to ensure you are able to operate the Shopbot CNC router.
