Professional-Grade Package: Comes with everything you need — Hybrid T-slot Table, Sweepy V2 Dust Boot, BitSetter, clamps, endmill, and even personalized live training.
The Shapeoko 5 Pro 4×4 CNC Router is the ultimate machine for serious makers who demand large-format precision and professional-grade performance in their workspace.
Built for Scale, Designed for Precision
Every component of the Shapeoko 5 Pro 4×4 is engineered for rigidity and accuracy. The ball screw drive system ensures minimal backlash, while the HG-15 linear rails maintain stability even under heavy cutting loads.
With a step resolution of 0.012 mm (X/Y) and 0.006 mm (Z), every motion is crisp and controlled — perfect for carving fine details, machining aluminum, or creating seamless joinery.
The 3.15″ gantry shift provides additional clearance for edge cutting and joinery applications, while the hybrid T-slot table allows flexible clamping for materials of all shapes and sizes.
Big Projects, Clean Results
With its Hybrid T-slot Table and Sweepy 65mm V2 Dust Boot, the Shapeoko 5 Pro 4×4 ensures your workspace stays clean and your cuts stay precise. The 4.04" center-to-center T-slot spacing provides excellent workholding flexibility, while the integrated dust boot collects debris at the source for a cleaner environment.
Its 4-inch clearance (with table) or 5-inch clearance (without table) makes it versatile enough for thick materials or tall fixtures.
Powerful, Reliable, and Easy to Operate
The Shapeoko 5 Pro 4×4 CNC Router offers industrial-level capability with the simplicity of desktop setup. Its 4A draw ensures efficient power usage, while auto-switching voltage makes it globally compatible.
Paired with Carbide Create and Carbide Motion, you’ll go from design to production with zero hassle. Whether you’re using Windows 10/11 or macOS 10.14+, setup is plug-and-play.
