Meeting Every Customer's Needs

I want to begin by thanking the guys at ShopSabre. I was a table saw and upright panel saw guy. I had to settle for cabinet parts being off by at least 1/16". Then I bought an import cnc. I practically had to program the thing from scratch. It never cut perfectly. One day the pieces were square facing one way and the next the other way. I had to hold some of the pieces because vacuum wouldn't hold them. I always came to the ShopSabre site to remind myself that I need something better. The " Buy your second CNC Machine first" use to haunt me. So we finally got the IS408. DID NOT DISAPPOINT!! This thing is built like a tank. I was paying a cabinet guy $4600 a month for what this machine is producing in 2 to 3 days. The good this is that my IS408 doesn't cry about more money or overtime, doesn't make mistakes, does what I tell it to do and doesn't slack off when I'm not looking. I have parts for 3 kitchens sitting on shelves because I don't have room in my shop and 4 kitchens I still need to cut. I have cabinets stacked 6 high. I am now looking for a bigger place. THANK YOU SHOPSABRE!! The speed is ridiculous and when I take a part off the table and measure it from corner to corner and so forth, I laugh at myself and nod in disbelief. I think that if I had a tape measure that had 1/1000 of an inch, I still couldn't tell if it was a little off. The plane of the table is right on as well. The first time I used the Z setter I set it to the bottom of material with a piece of paper under it, thinking it might be too low. So I start machine and when it finished cutting parts I had to set the "Z" again without the paper to get it right. Very happy with that.

If you're reading this and thinking about whether you should buy or not, ask yourself. Am I at a point that I need a better and faster way to get my product out there? If you're reading this you actually are looking for something better. The guys at Shop Sabre helped with financing so money was not an issue. The way I figured, I would have to pay 3 good carpenters at least 12k+ a month to do half of what this machine is doing for me. Now I'm paying less than half of what I'd have to pay one carpenter/cabinet maker.

Thank you guys at ShopSabre for making a great AMERICAN MADE machine.

"I bought a side kick 8 from shop sabre in December 2019 . I am still as impressed now as the day I received it. the machine works wonderful. The Tech support team is A plus always there to help you with patience they go above and beyond . There was a learning curve to operate the side kick 8 but the tech team was always there to help me trough. Buying the side kick with Brandon went nice and smooth. The side kick 8 is well built . I also bought a Apex wide belt sander from them as well. also the same smooth transaction. I Highly Recommend shop sabre Thank you to the Tech Team and to Shop sabre for doing a great job . God Bless"

Hi ShopSabre,

Keith here. It's been about a year that we've had our "mini-mighty" CNC from you guys and I just wanted to drop a quick line to say how much we have enjoyed having it as an addition to our company. 2020 will be remembered for many things and not a lot of good things, especially for small businesses. We were fortunate to have had the router during that time as it single-handedly kept us afloat for some time when other work dried up. I got to know the machine quite well when we routed truckloads of plywood for a local flooring mill. Secondly, the machine has added a whole new element to our lineup and has proven itself irreplaceable! We have had tremendous opportunity with the machine with so many different really neat products that we could never have dreamed of making before. I just wanted to say that we continue to enjoy the machine, the great customer service, and the ease of use for us. What a great product!

I love our machine. It's been a real blast operating it and making so many different things we could before.
Everyone there I have talked with has been very helpful and extremely pleasant to deal with.
No bad remarks from my end, I give you guys 5 stars.

Thank you

I just installed my Pro404 last week and WOW, this thing is seriously incredible. The speed and finish quality is unreal, and I know it'll only get better as I get my programs dialed in. The sales, customer service and tech support staff is amazing as well, I've had prompt and accurate answers for every question I've called in with. If you're considering a new CNC, I wouldn't look anywhere else.

Running an IS408 out of the box like there is no tomorrow. This machine is amazing. My old cnc looks so incredibly lame sitting by this now. Had I made this purchase ten years ago I would be retired instead of wondering how I'll eat tomorrow. Ugh... I love it ShopSabre team. In my case bought my last machine last ROFL... I can easily see now after using for two days that not buying this earlier is the biggest financial mistake I have made. Wish I had bought my last machine the first time like you guys suggest. I seriously regret buying two old used cnc machines in the past decade. This is by far the best purchase in machines ever made since starting the company. Thank you ShopSabre CNC and can't say enough great things.

Brandon and Shopsabre team,

Weve had our IS408 for around 6 months now, but I knew right away that we made the right choice. I had no CNC experience at all when it arrived, but I was amazed at how quickly we were up and running. We cut a very large cabinet job within a week of getting it powered up! A few questions have come up over the months and I have been amazed at the responsiveness of the Shopsabre team. The machine has been amazing and we have been successful at everything we can throw at it. We bought a great product from a great company! Shout out to Logan, Chris, and Ben too. Thanks guys!

I just wanted to take a moment to thank ShopSabre and all the people involved in the purchasing process. From start to finish, it was a great experience.

I have been using my ShopSabre 23 for a few months now. What a great CNC Router! The operating software is amazing. I don't think it could get any easier to use. The tool height process, A++++! The cut and location accuracy is spot on. It's simply a joy to use.

Thanks again SHOPSABRE for producing a high quality American Made product.

I am just finishing up running about 100 sheets of plywood through it in the last couple of weeks. It hasn't skipped a beat! I would like to say that you guys have made a product that is very well built. Also for someone with no previous experience, you have made it very user friendly. I like how uncomplicated you have made the machine control. I am very happy that I have made the decision to get into the CNC world. I would not go back to building cabinets the old way. Thank-you for building such a great machine.

Brandon,

I just wanted to say a big heartfelt thanks to you and all of the crew at ShopSabre. I have enjoyed the entire process of considering/buying/using my new IS408. I still can't get over how easy the whole setup was. Early on in my consideration of a CNC machine, when I was talking to owners of other machines in my area, I was really concerned about the router setup and software integration process. It didn't seem like something that a person like me should do on my own. Once I talked to some of the ShopSabre references you sent me, my confidence in the possibility of doing it myself was high enough to place the order. I can't stress enough how simple the machine setup and software integration (for both V-Carve Pro and Mozaik) were. I just selected the correct post processor and ran my parts. I almost couldn't believe it because I had spoken with so many guys early on that told me their machine's manufacturer sent out a tech for 5 days of setup and integration. I received my machine at about noon, and cut my first (fun) project from V-Carve at about 6:00 pm (I had all of the wiring, dust collection, and air in place before the machine arrived). It really was as easy as promised. The parts I can produce now are super accurate, the process is fast, and with the dust dock, it's much cleaner than I expected. My biggest mistake was not buying the machine sooner. Thanks for all of your help.

Y'all are my freaking heroes! That is amazing and I appreciate the assist more than you know. Five years after my purchase and you're still working hard to make sure I get everything out of my machine. Truly the best American company around....and I mean that! I served 25 years in the Navy and proud to work with companies and people like y'all!

Brandon,
Hope you are doing well.

I have had our CNC running for the last 3 weeks now and OMG It's awesome. The only down side is that my wife doesn't like it cause I have been putting in longer hours just to run it.

All the VPs here love it and every part is so precise and true. The company is already talking about the tool changer so I would say within the next year we will be purchasing the tool changer.

Thanks for getting me the right machine.

Hey Brandon,
I'd just like to tell you how happy I am with my Shop Sabre purchase. Everything works flawlessly and it performs like something else. We've cut up many kitchens now, many out of melamine and many out of 3/4'' birch plywood, "Wilma" thats her name, cuts like nobodys business, doing as many as 29 sheets one day! Long day, needless to say, but 20 sheets per day no problem. Brandon & the folks at Shop Sabre have been awesome with after sales service, and even just for asking a quick question, its been awesome!.thanks again.

About 3 years ago I made the mistake of purchasing a cheap Chinese machine off of Ebay. Well that "cheap" machine turned out to be what I would call a very expensive learning experience. In addition to my initial investment, I spent thousands of dollars trying to get the machine running properly. The spindle died 2 weeks after the 1 year warranty expired. One of the drivers and the power supply died within the first year. For some reason (never figured out if it was electrical or mechanical) the gantry would rock itself out of square. Tech support took days to respond or would often not respond at all. Long story short, I eventually came to the realization that no amount of time or money would get me where I needed to be. It was time to invest in a new machine. After careful consideration, I went with Shop Sabre. A friend of mine had been doing tool pathing work for another job shop that had two Shop Sabres often running 24 hours a day for weeks at a time. Knowing that they never complained about having any problems, my decision on who to go with was easy. Now that I've been up and running for a while now I know I made the right choice. Tech support is simply top notch. Every question I have called in with has been answered immediately and accurately. My cuts are exactly what I program them to be. Even complex shape inlays fit together snugly. I no longer spend time worrying about whether or not my machine can handle a particular job.

Hi Mike,
I just moved the new router into our shop...will be hooking it up in the next few days. The first things I noticed were the size and strength of the ballscrews, ways and frame. In many areas it is a heavier machine than our $40k+ router.
Nice work!

In addition to making the louver door and window styles, we now cut our cabinet parts with the machine. Its still early days yet, but this is a great addition to our shop.Our productivity is up significantly. I am pleased with this investment.

The parts were cut up using your ShopSabre router which is better than I ever imagined. I've been building fine furniture, cabinets and millwork for over twenty years but never with such ease and precision until I purchased your software and router.

Just to let you know that the advice and level of service which I have received from Jason regarding milling plastic has been nothing short of exceptional.

I entered into our email discussion feeling rather nervous about purchasing our first CNC router without seeing it prior to purchase. I fired a huge amount of questions at and he answered each question clearly and promptly. You have a really good, enthusiastic person working for you.

I started without any experience in CNC, and have quickly adapted, cutting almost all of our cabinet parts, chairs, dressers, tables on the machine. The cuts that we used to make on the band saw, router, inverted router have been mostly replaced by the Shop Sabre. It is fast and very accurate. Angles, curves, holes, slots... I guess I'm not telling you anything that you don't already know.

I love this machine! It's totally amazing. Your pictures on the website don't do it justice.

Hey Jim I sent pictures of projects that I have done with the laser and the guy in Canada didn't believe I did them with this machine.

Hey Jason, just dropping a line to thank you and the ShopSabre team for a great machine. Hope to order more soon.

We received our tool Friday of last week, and were up and running early yesterday. I want to thank you guys for making me look so good, and the many accolades.

We have found our Shopsabre (the 3636) to be quite accurate and fairly easy to learn to use. It still seems like very good value for the price. We use it for making plastic prototypes and some aluminum machining.

... better than I had ever imagined - I use it for full 3D prototyping in fibreboard and PU foam, and it has produced some beautiful pieces. Nobody who has seen it will believe it cost a penny less than 30,000 pounds (about $50,000).

My son's brother in-law.........had heard that I bought a cnc router and he came to look at it. He was really impressed with it and was shocked when I told him I had about 10 grand in the whole setup. He said they had made a similar constructed one that ran on ways, and they sold for about 30 grand. He said I did good, real good. He was amazed at the small footprint of the controller and he thought the Shop Sabre CNC program was awesome.

It was worth the wait! What a beautiful piece of American made machinery! I can't wait to get it set up and running.

The machine is running great, love it. I would like to get another dust collector assembly - have Mark call me.......

We are cutting 36 inch letters out of 1/2" aluminum plate with our 7214. We can't believe the quality.
