Time to get some of your machines on casters Tom, and start playing musical chairs.

A fixed table may be your better choice you can use it for a bench when you are not using it

I have been using ShopBots in my Const. Tech program for over 7 years with fantastic success.
I started with a full size machine and then added a Desktop. At my new teaching location near Austin, TX, I have purchased a full sized machine and a Desktop. We added a HandiBot this summer. I also own a Desktop myself.
My philosophy is you cannot have too many ShopBots. A teacher in Arizona is running his program with one full size machine and 6 desktops. The more you have the more your students will be engaged.
ShopBot has started a student certificaion program for high school students. The first training took place in Dallas, Texas this July (15 teachers were certified).
I have designed a great cart for the Desktop (if you look in the forum you will see some photos).
If I can be of any help, contact me on the forum or better yet give me a call.

Last year, May 2015 I retired from teaching and have been pursuing my custom cabinetry business. I've been very busy with it. One of my concessions in retiring was I can still go in and use the router at school on a limited basis......I'm training the guy who replaced me and so they let me use the bot some.
I, again, am on the hunt for a full-sized Shopbot. I think I've located a likely candidate.
