FOR SALE
SHAPING MACHINE
SHOPBOT PRT ALPHA 96" X 48" X 12" FLAT BED 3 AXIS COMPUTERIZED ROUTER.
I CREATED A PNEUMATIC HOLD DOWN SYSTEM THAT WAS PURELY DESIGNED FOR THE CUTTING OF SURFBOARDS.
WITH THE HOLD DOWN SYSTEM EASILY DETACHABLE FROM THE TABLE THE MACHINE BECOMES A STANDARD FLAT BED ROUTER THAT CAN CUT X=96", Y=48" AND A Z DEPTH OF 12"
THE BEAUTY OF THIS MACHINE IS ITS VERSATILITY, I HAVE CUT FURNITURE, SIGNS, HOME CRAFTS, FOILED FINS, CUT TEMPLATES, MADE MOLDS AND STILL HAVEN’T SCRATCHED THE SURFACE OF IMAGINATION.
THE SMALLEST BOARD THAT I HAVE CUT WAS 5’2 AND THE LONGEST WAS 8’2", ANY THICKNESSES AND WIDTH ARE POSSIBLE.
SALE INCLUDES:
*HP PAVILLION ZD8000 17" PENT4 3.2GHz, LAPTOP RUNNING XP HOME SP2
SOFTWARE:
*SHAPE3D (version 6.10) I have tried all of the other board design software and nothing has come close, for starters, its 3D not 2D and how many of you shape a board in your bay using only 2D technology. Not only is the design side more efficient but the toolpathing can be read by numerous CNC machines.
UP TO DATE SHOPBOT CONTROL SOFTWARE AND PARTWIZARD2.
THIS SOFTWARE IS THEIR OWN CAD-CAM PROGRAM TO DESIGN AND TOOLPATH 2D MACHINING.
PNEUMATIC HOLD DOWN SYSTEM:
*ORION KR6 VACUUM PUMP NEEDING 3PHASE POWER SUPPLY
*TWO LENGTHS OF PRECISION EXTRUDED ALUMINUM
*4 ADJUSTABLE VAC CUPS, HOSES, FITTINGS AND GAUGES.
EXTRACTION SYSTEM:
*CARBA-TEC 3HP WITH TWO BAG COLLECTION. (This system connected to the dust shoe that I designed currently pulls about 95% of the dust off the cutting surface)
BLADES:
*SET OF 2 NEW BLADES, MY DESIGN, MADE BY SHAPERS AUSTRALIA (world wide distributor of this style of product)
NOTES:
THIS MACHINE AND PARTS ARE CLASSIFIED AS SECOND HAND AND THEREFORE SOME OF THE WARRANTIES HAVE PASSED THEIR RETURN BY DATE.
I HAVE NOT HAD CAUSE FOR ANY OF THE WARRANTIES TO BE CALLED UPON AS EVERYTHING HAS RUN SMOOTHLY.
THE BIGGEST WEEK THAT I PUT THIS MACHINE TO WORK WAS FOR 64 BOARDS. IT HANDLED IT WITH EASE AND MOST OF THE TIME IT WAS CUTTING, I WAS SHAPING.
IF NEED BE I CAN MOVE THIS MACHINE TWO THOUSAND’THS OF AN INCH.
THE ONLY REASON FOR A POOR QUALITY SHAPE IS THE LACK OF QUALITY INPUT.
A GOOD CRAFTSMAN NEVER BLAMES HIS TOOLS
TIPS FOR USING THE SHOPBOT AND SHAPE 3D ARE A PLEASURE.
