The ShopBot Desktop MAX ATC takes the precision and reliability of our Desktop MAX CNC and accelerates your machining process with the addition of a 7-tool automatic changer. With an automatic tool changer, not only can you skip the pauses in your work for bit changes, but your bit length measurements are stored permanently from cut to cut, ensuring accuracy in multi-bit jobs.

This desktop CNC has a 36" x 24" work area and is available with a t-slot aluminum deck or a vacuum hold down deck. A rotary indexer can be used with the machine, and for oversized material, the tool bar can be easily removed to temporarily convert the tool to a quick manual tool-change machine. Take full advantage of the efficiency that digital fabrication and small shop robotics provide with the ShopBot Desktop MAX ATC.

Desktop MAX ATC with Aluminum Deck

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.

Desktop MAX ATC with Universal Vacuum Hold Down Deck

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.
