Steve,
Vacuum pulls through the spoil board.
Light weight MDF is pores.
It needs to be fly cut on both sides first.
Then the vacuum pulls very well right through the spoil board.

Yes, Macs can. I run my bot, an Epilog laser and a few other un mac friendly things from Mac minis. The cheepy little Minis run XP in a way more stable fashion than our big fancy Dell tower ever did. It is all about the Bus speed...

My only suggestion is to boot from Boot Camp rather than Parallels for bigger projects. I mostly Boot directly from the XP when I am running machines. I have found Parallels to be buggy when you really push the CPU. However, the new iMac may have no problems.

Beautiful setup. Happy Bot-ing.

Is there a cutting file on the forum for the vac boxes? I really like the design

I am in the process of setting up my Shop Bot. I am wondering if you had any more pictures of how the wiring runs. I am wondering how much you paid for the extra wiring enclosure. Do you have pictures of how you mounted that?

Thank you,

Greg

I want to thank you for your post. I used it a bunch while putting my SB together. I was wondering if I could get a copy of the Fein box file you created.
