Shopbot maintenance complete - 2026-07-11

I intend to take the shopbot offline for a day or two this week to upgrade the electronics enclosure. I will likely start this project late tonight or tomorrow night. I will update this post when complete.

edit: I’m sorry, but I wasn’t able to start on this tonight. I felt ill earlier and decided to come back home and take it easy this evening. Hopefully, I can get started on Wednesday.

The shopbot is operational again. I apologize for taking a little longer than planned. I’ve moved it away from the windows a bit. It was very difficult to clean behind before. The easier access should help with that. I’ve relocated the switch to a more accessible location and the electronics are moved to a real enclosure. The kluged together wiring has been replaced, as well.

I believe there is still enough room to use the lathes. If not please let me know and we’ll try to find an arrangement that is suitable to all.

Thanks for all the hard work Dave.

Thanks for making the changes. It should make using the Shopbot and cleaning up afterward much easier!
