Shapeoko is the most complete CNC router available, so you can get to work immediately without extra purchases. Take a look at some of the things included with your Shapeoko that you will not pay extra for.
Software
Shapeoko comes with our fully-featured Carbide Create design software.
With another company, you're going to pay hundreds of dollars for CAD/CAM software. With Shapeoko, it's included.
Cutters
Shapeoko comes with a 1/4" solid carbide cutter. It will be a workhorse for you, with a great combination of durability and detail.
As your skill progresses, we have a full range of additional cutters so you can expand your capabilities.
Dust Collection
Dust collection is critical for CNC machines. It keeps your shop clean and more importantly, it keeps dust and debris out of the machine, where it can do damage.
Shapeoko comes with a Sweepy Dust Boot, our super effective way to get the dust before it gets too far away from the cut. You'll have a cleaner shop and a more reliable machine.
BitSetter
Complex projects require multiple tools, and tool changes can be a pain. BitSetter is our proprietary system to make tool changes a breeze.
BitSetter is a combination of custom hardware and software, and it's only available with Shapeoko.
Workholding
If you can't hold your parts, you can't cut them. Shapeoko includes our Hybrid Table, which is a combination of a machine base, and a T-slot workholding system.
To go with the Hybrid Table, we include our Essential Clamps and Teez-Nutz, which is enough for most of the projects we see.
If you want something a little different, we have a full range of CNC workholding available.
Work Lights
Shapeoko 5 Pro includes LED lighting under the gantry to make it easy to see your project as it's being cut.
Training Videos
To get you up and running quickly, we have 5 hours of training video available at the Carbide 3D Hub. Videos range from simple getting started to projects and accessories.
You don't even need to wait until purchase to watch the videos, they're available to everyone right now.
1-on-1 Training
Your machine comes with four 30-minute 1-on-1 video training sessions to use any time in the first year that you own the machine. You can use these for:
It's your time, we're here to help.
The items above are not optional, you're going to need them to be successful with your CNC machine. The question is, do you want to buy them as extras, with the added hassle of figuring out what you need, or do you want to buy them as part of a complete package at no additional cost?
We include all of this so that you can get up and running quickly, and move on to creating amazing projects.
Our goal is to make you so insanely happy that you have to tell your friends about Shapeoko.
We'll keep you up to date on new things in the world of Carbide 3D, and CNC in general.
