- On this video we take a look at the Shapeoko 5Pro 4x4 and fact check Carbide 3D to see if this CNC will actually cut 4 ft by 4ft like they claim.

Bit Setter :) Bit Zero is the zero tool for x,y,z. Easy enough to remove for full sheets.
Nice video. How hard is it to use vectric with the SO5? Do you feed the gcode into carbide motion. Does it handle tool changes
In vectric there is a post processor (essentially a file type selector) You save your tool file in the correct format for carbide motion. Then open that file in carbide motion and run it. It is really easy.
It looks like you could move the entire 4x4 over to the left at least 1/4" and get the full actual 4x4 cutting capacity with the bit setter still in place. Have you tested it again since this vid? Also I know you're using the clamp screws that came with the kit but would longer screws make it so you can get the piece even further over (closer to the center of the t-track)? Excellent video. I've wanted a shapeoko since the original XXL and am finally getting to place that I may be able to get one soon so I appreciate the thorough info.
Yes i tried every way i could to fit it. The easiest thing to do is just make a little notch in the material and just avoid that area in the design. The other way is if i am just cutting i will remove the bit setter and zero to the spoil board. It’s a great machine for the money.
@@builtforlife Awesome, thanks for the reply and the info!
Are the rapids on shapeoko really that slow? It took forever to traverse the Y axis. I'm seriously considering one but if the rapids can't be sped up I might have to rethink.
No the rapids are a bit faster than that I just Jogged it manually… why? i don’t know. Sometimes i think it’s to give my brain some time to catch up with what I’m actually doing.
@@builtforlife Every video I see of the Shapeoko shows it moving at a snails pace. Every video I see of the Onefinity shows it moving extremely rapidly. This is something I'm trying to understand.
It rapids are 200 IPM which is max speed for this machine… well max it is limited to in the software.
All our machines start at 400ipm :P
I just bought this model. What size table should I build to place it on? I am struggling to figure out how much clearance I need front to back.
So there is no confusion, I have not received it yet, I just want to have a table ready to assemble it once it arrives
The one mine sits on is 64x64 Kreg makes a frame for one or you could build one. A lot of people are using rolling tool boxes and adding legs to get the dimensions they need.
I have the Kreg also. It is just the table frame. So be mindful of your table top material. The butcher block used in this video probably a solid option. 1/2” MDF probably not.
Look at your yardstick at time 9:01. I’m only counting 12 divisions between inches, not 16.
That is actually a machine ruler and it has 4 different scales one of them being 1/12-1/6 good eye. 3/12 is.25 that scale just shows up better on camera as it is not as busy.
I haven't used screws in forever to much work. You need to try plastic nails, yes they are a thing for nail guns . It doesn't matter where you use the as you can cut right thru them . Lots less work
I have seen this and composite nails, but do you need a special nail gun to shoot them? I was literally trying to cut some thin stuff today that was all bowed up thinking about looking into it.
They do make a special gun but you can use a regular nail if you regulate the air pressure down to around 70psi . They work better in softer woods you just need to try ln some test wood. We don't shoot hundreds of nails in to a project anyway . I think Amazon has a Senco brand gun that's a lot cheaper if you want to go that route
Sorry I took so long to reply, I just got a notification about an hour ago. Hope this helps you out
We know ours will :P at 2x the speed :P
That’s what I hear…. If you want to send me one I will put that dude to work at twice the speed.
Most cutting is done within the 48" dimension. Its a 48" machine and you are focused on it cutting a sheet over that dimension. Use the Bit Setter or just make a notch in the sheet around the Bit Setter. To me this video does not show an issue and I have a Shapeoko PRO5 4x4. Never had this issue.
I’m only 2 1/2 minutes into this video and I’m already questioning your methods. Why all the talking and measuring? Why not just throw a 4’x4’ piece of plywood on there and see if it will bevel the edges of it? Done.
Well my methods came from the questions i had before i purchased the machine…. Obviously the base will fit a half sheet and more but what i was measuring is the actual travel of the machine.
Always somebody. Why don’t you build your own. You seem to know more. There are more ways than clamps to secure your work piece.
I don’t need to build my own Shapeoko built a pretty darn good one.. and yes there are more ways than clamps i used 2 methods in this video. Thanks for watching
I don’t think this should be interpreted as a negative video. They just present some items that might be of interest for some users (or, potential users).
