ShopSabre Cnc Plasma

Starting at $9,995.00 for our 48” by 36” table

ShopSabre is the best value available today.…

It’s a no brainer.

ShopSabre has a wide variety of plasma cutting systems available to meet your plasma cutting needs.

ShopSabre machines are built to perform and cut accurately, day in and day out, all day long. That is what ShopSabre is all about.

Constructed out of heavy, rigid structural steel and billet aluminum no wimpy angle iron or erector set frames here! We use true industrial components from true CNC linear rails (not roller guides) for long life and low friction, to state of the art servos. (our competitors don’t even know what that means).

Our torch height control is second to none. In a side by side comparison we performed as well or better than torch height controls used on machines that start at $100,000. Every ShopSabre CNC comes with an integrated torch lifter you no longer are constantly readjusting the torch bracket for different materials Our torch breakaway feature ensures that in the event of a crash you will not damage your torch, and it’s included with every ShopSabre Plasma machine. Need to cut bevels we can do that to.
Now Available!! We have the SideWinder fourth axis module for beveling or fish mouthing pipe. You can work on pipe up to 24 inches in diameter and 8 feet Long!!!!!!

Simple Installation
Tight space requirements? Every ShopSabre can be shipped broken down to 3 major components so you could bring it through a walk door and can be setup in a matter of a couple of hours. Prefer fully assembled? No Problem! We will ship your machine fully assembled on a protective pallet. Simply remove from the pallet, plug it in and you are ready to cut! Every Shop Sabre CNC Plasma is fully assembled (with exact accessories) and tested for hours before it is shipped. That is another ShopSabre advantage. Our competitors don’t do that!

Never run a CNC before? Our machines are very easy to use. We provide training documents free with every machine. We can have you cutting your first test part in 15 min! If you need to get in production fast we have setup and on-site employee training available.

What does this all mean to you!!

When you purchase a ShopSabre, whether you are hobby shop or production facility, you are purchasing a machine that will assist you in generating revenues, lower labor costs and give you the quality and production capability you expect.

You can’t compete effectively in today’s world with out a quality CNC machine….

ShopSabre can provide you with the competitive edge, Day In and Day Out.

Welcome to ShopSabre

CNC plasma cutting has been around for more than thirty years, but only in the past decade has it become affordable enough for the small shop. The plasma cutting process is capable of almost surgical precision. A ShopSabre CNC can eliminate the error of the human hand that which is responsible for the roughness sometimes seen in plasma cut pieces.

ShopSabre Plasma systems are being used for:

Ornamental iron
Signs & Lettering
Art Discs
Geometric Shapes
Custom Fabrication

What type of plasma unit do you need?

The higher the amperage output of the plasma cutter, the greater the duty cycle is at lesser amperages. If you plan to use the machine more than six hours a day, you should consider a larger plasma unit than you would typically use on your material. If you will be using your machine frequently, but not continuously, consider a unit that is capable of cutting the thickest material you are likely to work with.

Plasma Height Control Option

The plasma height control is an advanced height control system providing exceptional performance and value for conventional plasma shape cutting applications.

The plasma height control utilizes arc voltage sensing and microprocessor technology to automatically detect the plate and maintain torch position at a desired set point during plasma cutting operations. This reduces operator input and improves accuracy, cut quality, and productivity.

See what Hypertherm has to say:

“Hypertherm's unrelenting focus has been on metal cutting technology. With a continuous stream of innovations to improve cut quality and service life, enhance productivity, and lower operating costs, Hypertherm products have set the standard in the thermal cutting market.”

Plasma advantages vs. laser
Significantly higher productivity
Increases flexibility to cut a wide range of material thicknesses and types
Significantly lower capital, operating and maintenance costs

Plasma provides the optimal mix of cut quality, productivity and operating cost

	Oxyfuel	Plasma	Laser

Cut quality	Good angularity Large heat-affected zone Dross levels require rework Not effective on stainless steel or aluminum	Excellent angularity Small heat-affected zone Virtually dross-free Good to excellent fine-feature cutting.	Excellent angularity Small heat-affected zone Virtually dross-free Good to excellent fine-feature cutting with narrowest kerf

Productivity	Slow cutting speeds Pre-heat time increases pierce times	Very fast cutting speeds for all thicknesses Very fast pierce times Quick-disconnect torches maximize productivity	Very fast on thin material (less than 6 mm-1/4") and slower on thicker material Long pierce times on thick material

Operating cost	Poor productivity and required rework drive cost per part higher than plasma.	Long consumable life, good productivity and excellent cut quality drive the cost per part lower than other technologies.	High costs per part due to power requirements, gas consumption, high maintenance costs and relatively low cut speeds on thick material.

Maintenance Cost	Simple maintenance requirements can often be performed by in-house maintenance groups.	Moderate maintenance requirements: many components are servicable by in-house maintenance groups.	Complex maintenance tasks require specialized technicians.

* Note: Take care in comparison: competitors often show maximum cutting speeds rather than speeds that deliver the best cuts,
as shown above. Cut speeds listed above deliver best cut quality, but cut speeds can be up to 50% faster.

* ISO 9013 is a standard that defines cut quality of thermally cut parts. The lower the range (range 1
is the lowest), the smaller the angle on the cut face. Cut angle in range 4 is better than in range 5.
