Shapeoko Pro versus Shapeoko 4 - 

Same for my SO3. My second revision had them in from the bottom as do my SOPro. :D

Surface finish is night and day in consistency with the linear rails on the Pro

Lucas, we have a whole video on tables. These are included in the rundown. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-vtQ0giXzga0.html

Hey Juan. The tables are here. Each machine is on two of them placed back to back. I really like these tables for their build quality. - Kevin. www.amazon.com/Seville-Classics-UltraGraphite-Workbench-Organizer/dp/B074WL437T/ref=sr_1_5?dchild=1&keywords=seville+bench&qid=1620393318&sr=8-5

@@carbide3d Slick desks. They are 48" wide, the SO is 50" wide. Any concerns here? Official support answer is not recommended.. I want the Winston answer.

The BitSetter for Shapeoko 4 should be available in the next week.

This video has all the info and some options. Carbide 3D - Table Talk - Where to put your CNC ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-vtQ0giXzga0.html

Seville Classics tables from Amazon. They were about $200 each, and they're great.

Right now, we don't have any plans for an upgrade from SO4 to SO Pro. The costs end up being really high.

If they fail under warranty, we'll replace them. They are consumable on a long enough timeline, but they're cheap and easy to replace.

AJ. Check out our new machine: Shapeoko 5 Pro. It’s the best in class machine and package. The 4x4 might be right for a cabinet builder. Also go to My.Carbide3D.com We are the best CNC partner in the business. And I suggest you vet that remark by checking out our community, the Unofficial Shapeoko Facebook Groups and other consumer directed sites. There you’ll find real customer experiences unfiltered from us. “Who” the company is matters for your CNC success. We believe in who we are as a company.

All of the extrusions are custom-made for us and then machined in-house.

@@carbide3d What about the tables they're sitting on?

@@colinfein4331 Yes that is what I was asking! I have the pro already The Extrusion table is nice

I believe this is the one: www.homedepot.com/p/Seville-Classics-Ultragraphite-Wood-Top-Workbench-on-Wheels-WEB484/303068669

Adrianus, both of these machines are new architecture and not backwards compatible with the Shapeoko 3. Both launch videos for the Pro and Shapeoko 4 are linked on the end of this video. Click one of those cards for more info.

where there is a want, capitalists or makers wont delay...

I’m sure there is a way. The shapeoko 3 works great. There are ball screw upgrade kits out there for the shapeoko. I’m not sure why they used belts? Maybe for the dust?

@@anotheryoutuber_ that's absolutely true. When the Pro and Nomad were announced in September 2020 the first thing that was said is the Shapeoko 3 isn't going anywhere. Fast forward a little over a year and they are phasing it out Fast!!

Either machine comes with Carbide Create for CAD and Carbide Motion for CAM. You are set to go with the software package included with the machines.

They are from Amazon. Here’s more info. The link for the Seville Tables is in the description. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-vtQ0giXzga0.html

@@olavodias nice find! I guess they stacked them back to back.

@@KPhil2713 yes, I saw another video (first look at the shapeoko pro), and at 2:38 it’s pretty clear they are using two tables. I got the XL, looking forward to start using it 😬

If you look at the total of what’s offered, it shouldn’t even be a question.

@@carbide3d like what for example? I'm a total newbie to cnc. I run a metal shop with manual mills. So I get rigidity is key and looking at machines the ball screw of competitor stands out. The linear rails on yours looks good also on pro but the belts i dont care for. I'm really struggling to see the difference that matters I guess. I like yours has the waste table included. And I like the competitors easy tear down. I want a good product to produce good results for all my followers and customers. Seems your competitors are taking all the influencers and providing them these machines and their taking them for some reason. When Myers switched over I was shocked so I wanted to just ask and see what your all take on it. I'm sure either will work for me but I don't want to regret this purchase....like anyone I'm sure. I need to go visit someone with one of your machines.

@@carbide3d btw @samcraft is a awesome guy he also said to go with you all so I am leaning that direction now. He pointed out the integrated level bed which I hadn't thought about. He deserves 👏 from me. 😄. Anyways hopefully I'll have one soon. Thanks for the response @carbide3d

Other than temporary promotions, we have never included routers with the machines. We did decide to include the BItSetter with every Shapeoko 4 and that increased the price. (This is the only price increase we've done, even though costs have skyrocketed over the past few years)

They are both very capable machines. What material will you primarily be cutting?

@@carbide3d I would like to eventually cut more than wood. But wood is what I will first be cutting. I ended up buying the Shapeoko 4 XXL. Is there a way to get files for things I want to make all ready to go? Just upload the file and hit start and it will do it? I really need to get some files that I can sell the product. Thank you for your help. I really appreciate it!

XXL of both machines.

We have a variety of plastics and other materials available direct. That is a block of HDPE. shop.carbide3d.com/collections/materials/plastic

@@carbide3d I just looked and I was wondering do you have anything that is around 8x8 1.5 inch thick for the HDPE Sheet

You can hook up a Raspberry Pi and call that 'offline'. CNCjs is a solid option to control these kinds of CNCs.

I doubt these upgrades will make much of a difference for most people. It’s a starter cnc. If you stick with it you will want to upgrade to a much higher end cnc at some point, not a shapeoko.

@@nickr5658 very true. :)

Yep, not much of an upgrade. They are being smart business people and making an “new” model so they can raise the price. This is how you stay in business. The shapeoko is an awesome first cnc. When Winston is taking about more precision in the 4 I would really want to see him prove that. There are many factors that control precision and repeatability and a cnc this light weight it will be very hard to keep repeatable dims and tolerances.
