Why Buy American

Proud to Be American Made

Here at ShopSabre CNC, we take great pride in the fact that all of our machines are truly built and supported in the United States of America. Unfortunately, some customers don’t realize the value of American-made equipment until it’s too late. Many are misled into thinking that Chinese imports offer a better investment simply because they cost less upfront. However, when you buy cheaper equipment, the reality is that you’re often paying for an inferior product.

With an investment like a CNC router, plasma system, or fiber laser, cutting costs upfront can lead to major losses down the road. These machines aren’t disposable consumables that you can simply replace if they fail—they are long-term investments that should deliver reliability, precision, and performance for years to come. That’s why we want our customers to understand that “Made in America” is more than just a label or a sales pitch—it’s a commitment to delivering superior quality, supporting American jobs, and strengthening local economies.

Here are just a few of the many benefits of choosing American-made CNC routers, plasmas, and fiber lasers:

BETTER QUALITY

Every material used in our machines is carefully engineered, designed, and handpicked to ensure the highest quality and a perfect fit. By manufacturing our machines in the U.S.A., we have access to cutting-edge technology, superior materials, and precision engineering—all coming together to create a flawless finished product.

Our quality testing process is second to none, ensuring that every machine is fully functional the moment it arrives and built to perform for years to come. Each phase of manufacturing follows a rigorous check-and-balance process, eliminating defects before they ever reach the final product. In contrast, imported machines often arrive with issues that aren’t discovered until they’re on your shop floor—resulting in costly downtime, frustrating repairs, and unexpected workarounds.

With ShopSabre’s American-made machines, you get the quality and precision of an expensive European import—but at a price that competes with cheap overseas alternatives.

BETTER VALUE

Many people assume that American-made products are automatically more expensive. However, when you consider the true costs, the opposite is often true. By keeping all of our manufacturing in the U.S.A., we eliminate middleman markups, allowing us to oversee expenses directly and ensure that every dollar goes into delivering more machine and technology for your investment.

Controlling the manufacturing process also allows us to reduce overhead and waste, focusing our resources on the most critical areas of production. Additionally, by manufacturing domestically, we avoid unnecessary freight costs, import fees, and duties, as well as the risks of damages or failures associated with overseas shipping. These savings are passed directly to you, the customer—meaning you get a higher-quality product at a competitive price.

ShopSabre CNC systems are also built to last, typically outlasting imported machines by three to four times. This means your investment isn’t just about upfront cost—it’s about long-term value, making ShopSabre machines a smarter choice on a cost-per-year basis.

BETTER SUPPORT

By building our machines in the U.S.A., we provide direct support from the experts who designed and built them—not a reseller or offshore call center. No lost translations, no long wait times—just real help when you need it.

We also stock a full inventory of parts, so you’re never stuck waiting on backorders or discontinued components like with many imports. When an overseas supplier drops a model or stops carrying parts, you’re out of luck. With ShopSabre, you get long-term reliability and support—in fact, our first machine, built over 20 years ago, is still running strong today.

That’s the ShopSabre difference—real machines, real support, built to last.

Better for Everyone

When you buy a ShopSabre CNC router, plasma, or fiber laser, you’re not just investing in a machine—you’re investing in the local economy that supports businesses like yours. Every purchase helps create American jobs, driving innovation, opportunity, and a stronger future for everyone.

More CNC machines built in America means more wins for all.
