Durham, NC – Ty Pennington went to the hospital with appendicitis, and it was a ShopBot CNC that helped keep his “secret room” project o­n “Extreme Makeover Home Edition” o­n schedule.

A ShopBot CNC router, manufactured by ShopBot Tools Inc. of Durham, N.C., made another television appearance o­n “Extreme Makeover Home Edition – How’d They Do That?” in February. The episode featured a segment o­n how CNC routers are used in furniture making. The ShopBot CNC was used to cut key parts of a piece of furniture for Pennington’s “secret room” – a ribbed bench called “the sternum.”

“We are very proud of our product,” said Ted Hall, president and owner of ShopBot Tools Inc. “We believe the high profile attention it receives is a direct result of the performance of our tools and the quality of support we provide.”

The ShopBot woodworking machine is not an official product of the ABC show, but is owned by Pennington who purchased it in the fall of 2003. Rob Williams, Pennington’s shop manager, operated the ShopBot o­n the episode when the filming took place in his workshop in Atlanta, Ga. earlier in February.

This is not ShopBot’s first TV appearance. In October 2003, it appeared o­n the $100,000 edition of “Trading Spaces” o­n The Learning Channel, and a ShopBot CNC is scheduled to be shown o­n “The New Yankee Workshop” o­n PBS in March 2005.

ShopBot Tools is North America’s leading manufacturer of affordable CNC routers.

About ShopBot Tools Inc: ShopBot Tools Inc is based in Durham, N.C. and designs, manufactures and provides technical support for low-cost, high-value computer numerically controlled (CNC) cutting machines. ShopBot was founded by CEO Ted Hall, Ph.D., a Duke University professor of neuroscience, who developed the tool while building plywood boats as a hobby. After several years of development, the company opened in 1997. With 3,000 ShopBots in 50 countries, ShopBot is o­ne of the largest producers of CNC routers for woodworking and plastics in North America. It currently employees 25 people in the Durham, N.C. area.
