Description
The Laguna SmartShop II is a CNC wood router capable of cutting out complex shapes that would otherwise be difficult to create by hand. Like all CNC machines, the SmartShop II is most useful when a design calls for a high level of precision, or is being mass produced.
Here is an example of this piece of equipment being used.

Safety
There are several hazards you need to be aware of when using a table saw.
- The blade is very sharp and it spins very fast. Keep your fingers away from the blade even when its not spinning. Use a push stick to keep your fingers a safe distance from the blade.
- Always wear proper safety equipment, i.e. ear protection and safety glasses, to prevent injury.
- Hold onto material firmly and keep it against the table and fence to help prevent the material from catching on the blade. If material catches on the blade the material can shoot back at you and this is called a kickback.

Foxtale Quiz
Troubleshooting
- If none of the control functions on the control panel appear to work, make sure the machine has been homed and the E-stop is released.
- If the cutting tool height appears to be incorrect make sure the tool touch off has been performed for the tool in use.
Maintenance
General maintenance
- The spoil board needs to be resurfaced as grooves are cut into the surface. Grooves will release a percentage of the table vacuum and increase the risk of the material moving during cutting.
- There are many bearing surfaces located on the router that need to be lubricated. The router is equipped with a central lubrication system the technician will operate on a regular basis.
