Why Buy ShopSabre CNC?

At ShopSabre CNC Industrial Strength and Customer Service is the two most important criteria. Our system is not designed to be a 1 or 2 project a week machine; it is designed to Industrial specifications. That means that you can run it 24 hours a day 5 days a week or even more. You the owner/operator should be able to go to the machine, turn it on, and go to work. No squaring or alignment should be required. Chinese Imports and Kit Machines might play the smoke and mirror game but in the end you will find yourself shopping again.

Framework

ShopSabre uses the top rated steel tubes and steel plate. We do not use any extruded aluminum or angle iron in our machine frames. Our systems are solid steel welded and no assembly is required. The frame is built to withstand all the projects you need to tackle. Not only is the base of our machine stress relieved but we take it one step further then the competitors and stress relieve the gantry as well to assure both the Frame and the Gantry are square. These factors give you the most rigid accurate assembly in our market.

Motion Components

ShopSabre uses all high precision components. We use 25MM linear guide rails with triple wiper Linear guide bearing blocks. We use 2 bearing blocks on each rail to assure the cut forces are equally distributed over the rail to reduce the amount of wear and noise. The triple sealed bearing blocks assure that no matter how much debris and dust build up on the rails you will not get failure to the bearings. The design also makes the machine a self cleaning system so you do not need to worry about wiping down the rails or watching for build up. On our ShopSabre Routers the motion on all 3 of our axis are driven by high precision ball Screws with the highest diameters in our market. ShopSabre does not believe in using smaller ball screws to save cost. Unlike the designs our competitor use ShopSabre Ball Screw design is center driven so you get and even cut force no matter where you are cutting on the machine. Many of the competitors run a top driven ball screw on the X-Axis which will cause a wearing issue for the X-Axis bearings and motors. The ShopSabre Ball Screws also have Anti-Backlash ball nuts mounted in angular contact bearing blocks to assure the highest accuracy possible. The ShopSabre CNC drives are all driven by 800 Oz/Inch Advanced Micro Stepper motors or A/C Digital Super Servo Drives with matching Amplifiers.

ShopSabre CNC Controller

ShopSabre uses the best of both worlds when it comes to a controller. Unlike many competitors we DO NOT use cheap Hobby controllers such as Mach 3. We use an Industrial Controller that has been conveniently installed into a P.C Controller to give you the most control over your CNC system with the ease of running a Computer. Our system does not connect to the machine with a cheap Printer port or USB Cable, we use a true CNC grade Industrial Connection via a 37 Pin connection. Also you do not want a system that has what others call "tunnel vision" because if you need or want to alter drawings at your CNC system or if you need to be able to store files at your CNC you won't be able to. The ShopSabre has over 300GB of AT MACHINE STORAGE available and you can load your CAD software on the machine computer so you do not need to walk away to make changed to a file. The ShopSabre also requires NO special training because it is design to be as easy as the cheap controller systems just with more capabilities. The ShopSabre controller has a built in microprocessor that ONLY drives your CNC machine while the PC processor runs the PC and any programs you might have running. The ShopSabre CNC controller has 4 USB drive lights to assure you can plug in your flash drives and external hard drives. The ShopSabre CNC system comes with Ethernet Capabilities, Network capabilities. Many people are given false information from competitors that all PC style controllers are hobby. The ShopSabre CNC system has EVERY capability that the competitors with stand alone controller have with many capabilities that the competitors cannot offer (even machines costing $100,000.00) such as bit offsets/compensations. The ShopSabre PC Controller is designed to be in a work environment so you can assure the dust and dirt won't cause an issue and don't worry about those windows updates. The Controller updates with windows so you will never run into a problem with compatibility because we assure for life you will receive updated FOR FREE! Remember; don't believe the smoke and mirrors stories.

Spindles/Cutter Heads

ShopSabre has an answer for any budget. We can build a CNC system that only has mounting brackets so you can provide your own cutting head or we can put on a Fully Functional Tool Changer. We provide 3.25HP Porter Cable Routers, 2Hp HSD Spindles, 4Hp HSD Spindles, 5 Hp HSD Auto Tool Changer Spindles, 9Hp HSD Spindles, and of course the 10HP HSD Tool Changer Spindles. We have even larger spindles for those of you who need the power. All our spindles come standard with a Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) to control spindle RPM ranging from 2,000-24,000 depending on the model (Ask sales for details). ShopSabre also has Tool changers that range from 3 tools all the way to 20 tools depending on your needs. Don't be fooled by competitor's quotes. Many only provide you with the Tool Changer head and 1 tool position. ShopSabre again does not cut corners or hide anything. If you purchase a 5 position tool changer you get 5 complete positions which include the wrenches, collets, cones, and tool forks. Yes even the wrenches are included. This goes for any number of positions. ShopSabre also can attached a Tool Measure switch with ANY number of tool positions so you are not limited to the number of tools you can have because you choose the Tool Measure switch.

Again to prove we don't cut corners we encourage you to research HSD spindles and you will find that all our HSD spindles are rated the best on the market because again we don't cut corners and we expect you to be able to get many years of use out of your spindle. The HSD spindle is Italian made (Italians make the best spindles) and U.S.A supported and easy to maintain. The HSD Spindles are electric fan cooled so don't be fooled by Chinese imported spindles or water cooled spindles. Water cooled spindles are an inferior technology that requires additional equipment and maintenance. If the spindle is not HSD then it's not the best.
