CNC Table Router: 7 Essential Steps to get you STARTED!

Jon Off CNCKing.com News,

ShopBot Tools, the company that made my ShopBot Desktop which I’ve featured in over 30 videos in the CNCKing.com / ShopBot Table Router section showing the cutting and assembly of models has just released, through 100k Schools, a bunch of videos showing you step-by-step as to how to get all set-up with our CNC Table Router.

If you are curious about CNC Table Routers or just wondering how to set yourself up once you do purchase one – this is a fantastic resource I wish I had when I first got started.

The show is hosted by TJ, a person with lots of experience teaching students the wonders of shop class and CNC ShopBots!
