The Shopbot is a bolt together deal. The rack and pinion are already mounted to the rails...and the gantry is pre-assembled. Super-easy install!
Not sure what you are talking about in regarrds to setting up and tuning a R&P...but I've never had to setup or tune mine...and I've been running R&P for over 3yrs now. It's reliable, efficient and self-cleaning.
