Shapeoko 4 XL - No Table, No Router

This is the Shapeoko 4 XL, nearly double the cutting area of the Shapeoko 4 Standard! The Shapeoko is a 3-axis CNC Machine kit that allows you to create your 2D and 3D designs out of non-ferrous metals, hardwoods, and plastics. The Shapeoko 4 XL is designed to be affordable enough for any shop and powerful enough to do real work. Don’t let the size intimidate you! This is an entry-level CNC machine designed for hobbyists, artists, and fabricators!

Each Shapeoko 4 XL has a cutting area of 838.2mm(X) x 444.5 mm(Y) x 101.6mm(Z) (33" x 17.5" x 4") and an overall footprint of 1270mm(X) x 609.6mm(Y) x 482.6mm(Z) (50" x 24" x 19"). The power cable included in this kit is designed for the United States National Plug Standard. Don’t forget you can put whatever you want on the adapter ring (as long as it fits), whether that’s a laser, 3D print extrusion head, or a marker. Get creative!

Upgrades from the Shapeoko 3 include:

  • New, more rigid v-wheel design
  • 15mm belts
  • Inductive homing switches
  • New electronics
  • Integrated t-slot Hybrid Table (OPTIONAL)
  • Fully-supported Y extrusions
  • Leadscrew-driven Z-axis
  • New, more rigid 65mm router mount
  • Sweepy 65mm V2 dust boot

Note: This version of the Shapeoko 4 XL does NOT include a trim router, this will need to be purchased separately. The folks at Shapeoko recommend the Carbide Compact Router or the Makita RT0701C to use with the machine.

Note: This version does not come with a table, you will have to provide an MDF table / wasteboard for the machine. No t-slot workholding will be included.
