What are the Technical Specifications of the Shapeoko 5 Pro CNC Router?

FAQ - The Shapeoko 5 Pro CNC Machine

Is there a Shapeoko 5 AND Shapeoko 5 Pro CNC available?

• No. There is only the Shapeoko 5 Pro available at this time. The terms "shapeoko 5" and "shapeoko 5 pro" are currently used interchangeably to refer to the Shapeoko 5 Pro CNC Router.

What makes the Shapeoko 5 Pro different from the Shapeoko 3, Shapeoko 4, Shapeoko Pro?

• The Shapeoko 5 Pro is completely different from the Shapeoko 3, Shapeoko 4, and Shapeoko Pro in its components (and therefore performance). From the Motion System, right down to the electronics, Shapeoko 5 uses completely new parts that are different from these 3 iterations of the Shapeoko and make it even more accurate and high performing than ever.

Shapeoko 5 Pro vs. Shapeoko HDM—which one should I get?

• Fundamentally, the Shapeoko HDM is a more powerful machine and ideal if you want to primarily cut aluminum and brass (just note the higher price tag). The Shapeoko 5 Pro is pretty close to being as good as the HDM (when you add Carbide 3D's VFD spindle to it) at a cheaper price point and it has a larger cutting size option available than the Shapeoko HDM. The Shapeoko 5 Pro is also a great option for international customers that have wanted to buy an HDM, but haven’t been able to get one.

What routers are compatible with the Shapeoko 5 Pro CNC?

• The Shapeoko 5 Pro is compatible with the Carbide Compact Router and VFD Spindle (by Carbide 3D), both available as checkout options. Other routers with a 65mm spindle are compatible, like the Makita RT0701C. Please note, the DeWalt 611 has a 69mm router and will not fit the Shapeoko 4. 

How big is the Shapeoko 5?

• The Shapeoko 5 Pro comes in three different sizes
  • Shapeoko 2x2 Cutting Area Size (X x Y): 24.53" x 24.53" (623mm x 623mm)
  • Shapeoko 4x2 Cutting Area Size (X x Y): 48.7" x 24.53" (1237 mm x 623 mm)
  • Shapeoko 4x4 Cutting Area Size (X x Y): 48.7" x 48.7" (1237 mm x 1237 mm)
• 4" remains as the clearance under the gantry (Z).

Will there be a 4x8 size for the Shapeoko 5?

• Currently, there are no plans from Carbide 3D to release a 4x8 machine.

Will the Shapeoko 5 Pro work with 220 volts?

• The Shapeoko 5 Pro electronics are compatible with 220V power.

What Materials can I cut with the Carbide 3D Shapeoko 5 CNC?

• All Types of Wood
  • Hardwoods, such as maple, ash, birch, cherry, walnut, white oak, and more
  • Softwoods, such as pine, cedar, balsa, and fir
• Most Plastics, such as: 
  • ABS, Delrin (Acetal), Polypropylene, Polycarbonate, Acrylic (PMMA), Nylon, PET, PEEK, PVC, Polyethylene, and more
• Non-ferrous Metals, such as: 
  • Aluminum, brass, and copper (some alloys are more suitable for machining)
• Synthetics, composites, and more such as: 
  • Renshape and other Polyurethane resins with fillers, carbon fiber, wax, and foams
