ShopBot's PRSstandard CNCs are our high-performing yet affordable, gantry-based CNC router, priced at less than $20,000. Using proven ShopBot advanced technology for CNC cutting, drilling, carving and machining, the PRSstandard is the right tool for smaller shops ready to venture into CNC productivity yet don’t require high production speeds. The PRSstandard uses our proven CNC workhorses, the  super-tough, open-loop stepper motors  with low-backlash gear heads as well as RBK series stepper motor drivers, delivering more power, higher speeds and step resolution, and smoother cutting.  The control system that runs the PRSstandard is the same full-featured controller used on all of our tools, and the leading affordable CNC controller for shops around the world. The control system software reads the new open standard for CNC code and OpenSBP as well as the older format for CNC G-Code. The latest version of our control system software is always available for free download from our web site. Best of all, as your needs and shop change, so does your CNC: you can upgrade your PRSstandard to our top-of-the-line, high-performance system by simply adding PRSalpha Control System, drives and motors.

[See suggested systems]

Before Placing Your Order

Electrical -- If you will be using a standard router, the PRSstandard Control Box can be plugged into a 110VAC (50-60Hz)^*, 20Amp circuit. For spindle options, your Control Box and spindle will need a dedicated 220VAC circuit (optionally 3 phase). You will need to know about the electrical service to your shop to plan your configuration. A 220VAC Control Box will need to be wired into the electrical service by a licensed electrician. [*The voltage and configuration of the Control Box needs to be specified at time of order. Control Box voltage is not configurable by the purchaser.]

Router or Spindle -- ShopBots are configured for either router or spindle.  So you will need to specify your choice at the time you order your ShopBot.  Give us a call for help with this decision [and see Router/Spindle]

Computer Requirements -- You need a PC with an available USB port that is running Windows XP/Vista/7 (recommended version: HomePremium/ Business or higher). At minimum: Pentium 800 MHz, 512M RAM, Graphics display 1024x768 for the shop (this resolution optimally uses screen).  For your design computer (if you use a separate computer), a resolution of 1280 x 1024 or higher will work well.  If your shop computer will not be networked, an additional USB port for transferring files using USB memory stick is very useful.

Shipping -- ShopBots are shipped as four modules (Table, X-rails, X & Y carriages, Z-axis) ready for straightforward assembly (ShopBot Buddy systems are shipped fully assembled).  Shipments are crated and banded onto a single pallet and ShopBot will arrange shipment by truck to your shop or facility.  You will need to discuss several aspects of shipping with us. 

International -- We sell and ship ShopBots internationally and manufacture them configured to local requirements.  The PRSstandard Control Box will usually adapt to local electrical service voltages, but you will need to plan circuits for your router/spindle and accessories and the Control Box needs to be configured for these at the time of purchase.  Check with us if you have questions.  Please see our International Support page where a number of issues related to international use, sales, shipping, installation and support are reviewed.
