While I was waiting on delivery of my ShopBot I spent a lot of time browsing the forum to see how others had set up their machine and control computer. I thought I might return the favor with a couple pictures of what I ended up doing.
I initially thought I wanted a desk to sit at, but it quickly became apparent that I would be better off standing. I had purchased the regenerative blower from ShopBot and after setting up the vacuum system I had some PVC pipes left over. Rather than throw them away I used them to make the stand for the keyboard and monitor for the control computer.
The cabinet to house the computer also has a couple drawers to hold bits and the other accessories for the ShopBot. It was designed in eCabinets and after the doors were cut, I textured them with the texture tool path in VCarve Pro.
