Full enclosure for SB Desktop? Can't find much info online

[sybersport]

I spoke to Joe over at ShopBot and he mentioned that they make a full enclosure for the desktop, to help manage dust and sound.

I saw what I believe is the enclosure via a CAD drawing here in the forums, but haven't seen any pictures of the actual enclosure itself.

Are any of you using it, and do you have any photos?

Thanks!

I was at the Shopbot facility a week ago for the training

Check with the Sales Dept at Shopbot.

Nice box, I wonder how much noise it catches?

Ryan, DC? How?

[garyr6]

Does it require an air flow to keep the spindle cool?

[garyr6]

Anybody out there using the full inclosure care to share their thoughts on the unit?
Is it hard to clean out? Are you pulling air through the keep the router or spindle cool?
Please post or PM me......
Thinking about getting one as my desktop is in my work room at the3 back of the house.

This is the enclosure I made for my first ever CNC machine back in 2005.

The dust extraction hood is on the right and on the left there were a series of holes so an airflow was created right across the bed of the machine.

Might give someone some ideas.

Come on, somebody outthere must be using the full inclosure from Shopbot on the desktop, Whats your thoughts?
How about you TJ?

Gary, When we inquired last July, Shopbot I believe only had a prototype that they had fabbed up. The pics posted by them look a little different from what I recall. Off the top of my head I can't recall anybody mentioning they had bought one. Even the Mini-Enclosure we got for Kirk's in January didn't seem that common(although there are a few more now).
You should probably give Dianne at Shopbot a call and she will hook you up with whoever has the most experience with it?

[garyr6]

yep, good idea.
