Accessory Base

Summary

The Handibot Accessory Base is a frame on which a Handibot can be mounted. A plastic "T-Slot" plate is inserted into the base of the frame and locked in place using two toggle clamps. To this plate, the user can attach any accessories that he might attach to a regular desk-top aluminum deck. This product is designed to fit the 3 inch indexer along with a number of future accesories. The plate can be indexed in four inch increments, allowing the user to tile their cut files and extend the Y-axis reach of their handibot. The sides of the frame are covered in acrylic "plexiglass" and one side is removable for access to the jig or materials inside the frame. The front and back of the frame are covered by vinyl brushes mounted to a plastic frame that can be easily removed--these prevent chips and dust from escaping during cutting. A 3 inch indexer mounted to this base can accomodate material up to 12 inches long.
