ShopBot Desktop Work Station
The Desktop MAX ATC with Universal Vacuum Hold Down Deck kit includes a plywood plenum, MDF spoil board, and the Fein Turbo II Vac for quick hold down of sheet goods. This deck option is not optimal for cutting small parts, but is well-suited for large parts without additional hold down from screws, nylon nails, or tabs.
See the Hold Down at a Glance chart for more information on hold down.
The Desktop MAX ATC with Aluminum Deck (general purpose deck) comes standard with an attached MDF spoil board and is considered our most versatile deck option for a wide variety of machining options. Because the Desktop MAX ATC is completely open underneath and the aluminum deck can be partially or completely removed, you can add widely available dovetailing or end-milling attachments, or add our lower deck option for additional Z travel.
