ShopBot Buddy®

ShopBot Tools

Signmaking Hardware

The ShopBot Buddy® is designed for industrial, commercial or residential applications involving cutting in wood, plastics, and aluminum.
It incorporates many of the same features as ShopBot’s full-size industrial systems, yet weighs less than 272 kg (600 lb) and occupies as little as 1.5 m2 (16 sf) of floor space.
It comes with optional casters for ease of movement for different applications in the shop.
Uses a moving deck and is available with a 0.6 x 0.8-m (24 x 32-in.) or 0.6 x 1.2-m (24 x 48-in.) work area, which can easily be expanded with the PowerStick attachment to lengths up to 2.4 m (8 ft).
Delivered pre-assembled and ready to plug in and use.
The Buddy is available in two versions:
(a) The high-performance PRSalpha for professional high-volume production, with increased speed for some operations and closed-loop reliability
(b) The PRSstandard Buddy, perfect for many low-volume operations
Both versions come fully equipped with a Z-Zeroing plate for accurate tool height setup, a dust skirt for waste removal, two powerful software programs to create CNC projects and the ShopBot Control System software to run the CNC.
