Shapeoko HDM: The Most Powerful Benchtop CNC We've Ever Made

We had a thought: what if we took a Shapeoko and upgraded everything- the linear bearings, the extrusions, the ballscrews, the motors, the spindle- and then delivered it on a pallet, almost ready-to-run. The result is Shapeoko HDM, the most accurate and powerful CNC router we can make.

Yes! The ultimate Shapeoko. I've always thought of converting mine with ballscrews and linear rails ever since I got, but never had the guts to do it. Well here it is! It looks great!

[@nickr5658]

Big fan of Shapeoko. I love my XXL! That machine got me into a HAAS and a Omax. Winston and the crew big thank you!

[@Whois2440]

#teamwinston. Man I'll need a moment alone with this machine. How awesome!

[@AllanScheSar]

Thank you Winston, that you presented this to us.

[@intelligentgluteus-maximus4720]

I’m still holding out hope for an add on laser someday but that hdm looks like a beast and a great investment!

[@benjaminnichols6558]

I don't think a laser would ever be added from shapeoko. You can always just buy one to attach. Could be wrong though. Maybe they will one day

[@caiobortoletto4363]

buying mine tomorrow. literally cant wait

[@carbide3d]

Welcome to the Family

[@janderson2375]

Wooo! Way to go C3D folks on developing an awesome machine!

[@LarryLeesBees]

Water cooled! Wow!!! 😍 That’s amazing!

[@D-GatDesignsLLC]

I been trying to financially justify a bench topCNC and this brand is at the top of my list

[@dpmakestuff]

That’s one sexy unit! Hopefully Canada is on the shortlist once you nail down domestic shipping!

Well this should satisfy half the usual commenters I would think.

[@DanielWood]

So good to see Winston is back!

[@coulterjb22]

Impressive. The lighting is sick.

[@R5ASTRO]

Will the spindle motor be available as an upgrade for the pro’s?

[@justice0952]

Now I just have to wait for the new Nomad!

[@philippeg3]

This is beast of a machine! I think I have the first version of the Shapeoko XXL, that would be quite the jump!

[@Fredjikrang]

Nice! I would also be good to have the option to have the table made out of a coolant compatible material, as it would be easy to add flood coolant (or even mist coolant) to a machine like this!

[@micro963]

I like this machine, it’s well build👍👍👍 I wish they could build them with a bigger cut area, 50”x 50” . Thank you for sharing

[@MichaelDavidHiltner]

Damn! Looks like I'll need to overlook my future ideas for a shop build! I'm just running out of room as it is! And here I was just talking to my Wife this morning about the concept of using Screw Jacks (Air Force Lingo) for precision work that will never fail! Hours later, here I'm on KZbin watching just what I was in conversation about this morning. Go figure, eh!

[@johncarr123]

I will wait for the XXL version to come out.

[@pmsilvei]

Always wondered why you guys were taking so long to do this... My first DIY CNC has all this components. (but I'm a noob) Machine looks great 👌🏻

[@plsmithed]

And here I am pushing my stock shapeoko 3 at 100 ipm on brass.. I only imagine how fast this thing can hog material..

[@thanemakes5377]

You guys were the first ones I thought of when seeing this

[@Gmtail]

I’m sure this is a source of contention amongst your group, but you really need to produce an auto bit changer like the Stepcraft. This will really push you ahead. 👍

[@MicroFourThirdsCorner]

Awesome. Now all we need is the auto tool changer :)

[@hi1172]

An iso20 atc spindle option would be an awesome upgrade!

[@rickcperry]

Got my popcorn ready!

[@shophacks]

Nice work. That's a beauty.

[@YooProjects]

Wow.. Looks amazing machine.

[@STidrvr]

That Full DOC on HDPE. Yowzas!!!!!!

[@YTN3k0]

My brain instinctively started preparing for a crash. C3D keeps upping the bar!

[@naveenkumarmangal9653]

It seems the most powerful benchtop CNC. But instead of providing an all-in-one software, why Carbide 3D two different software for CAD/CAM and CNC control?

[@TDpeoples]

When will it be able too be shipped too europe, i sooo want this machine, but im in need of a machine quite fast so hopefully it will be available this year

[@stevevictory3841]

Ok, so give us the price. Was wondering when you were coming out with a real ball screw machine . Looks nice.

[@moogoo267]

$4900 USD .. check the link in the description.

[@nickr5658]

@@moogoo267 Yikes! for that kind of money there is a lot of competition.

[@funman11895]

Can we see more demo cuts? This looks awesome!

[@sailalo1825]

Do yall plan on adding a bigger version? So more work area?

[@SpasmFingers]

Why not servo motors?

[@SolveFixBuild]

I want this and please add a plasma cutter attachment with table... and I'm done -that's everything.

[@JohnColgan.]

That's an impressive piece of kit. And it's a desktop, usually the poor relation compared to big boys... Price will be interesting!!

[@JohnColgan.]

I've seen the price, Arm & Leg comes to mind, but then you pay for Rolls Royce too!

[@dtroy15]

$1K less than a tormach PCNC440. The tormach is 500 lbs of steel so it's hardly a desktop machine, but it only has half the power of the Shapeoko! Much better rigidity for steel no doubt. Interesting comparison.

[@evgenitantikov5865]

@@JohnColgan. its a 10 years old German design, costs less than 1000 dollars of parts. You can build it on your own in few days, with bare minimum of skills. Hardly a Rolls-Royce...

[@philippeg3]

Impressive.

[@JoePalumbo221]

Very cool. I was thinking of switching from my xxl to the avid. Buy maybe I'll wait hmmm

[@callmeasuka5849]

Are you gonna make waycovers for Y and X?

[@ekbiker]

Can you mount stock vertically to cut into the ends? Mounting vertically meaning the end of a longer piece of stock (like a rail for furniture) is planar with the bed.

[@carbide3d]

There is a small amount of overhang possible but not enough to cut a very thick board. If you have a pass-through or hole in your workbench, you could conceivably remove one of the hybrid table slats though and stick the board through that way.

[@chrisc.4630]

Damn you Winston! I just got the Shapeoko Pro. Now I have make room for this too?

[@mareky1234]

Does/will it have a automatic tool changer feature as a possible option?

[@carbide3d]

At this time we do not have an ATC.

[@kingkasma4660]

on the website is stated u need 2 110v outlets for the 220v version is this correct? or a typo?

[@lucianodaloisio]

+1 ???

[@ponga782]

So, are the working dimensions the same as the XXL?

[@Wolffmansbrother]

Will this be able to cut steel knife blanks like the nomad? As long as they are water jet cut first?

[@fabricioleinat]

What is the stepper motor size and torque available for this version??? I was not able to find this info on your website

[@JustinAlexanderBell]

$ 4,900.00

[@JOHNKDUFFY]

Heading towards an ATC..?

[@thedude6736]

Hey Winston, the link in the description is non-clickable ;-)

[@carbide3d]

It has been repaired.

[@assamite9614]

will it mill something more than just aluminum?

[@jessesilver]

It does, just 3 minutes into this very video 😊

[@glindquist5635]

Yes!!

Can it cut steel

When will this be available?

Shoot an email to sales and we'll try to get it worked out.

[@fixxfixx]

I want one!! If so... do you ship to europe?

I would buy this so quickly except . . . why so small of a travel area? I would even pay more for 48" X 36". I have to go to another company now.

[@8thsinner]

Looks like a solid if not small build machine, but for 5k I would really have expected at least a 2/3 bit auto bit change option built in. Nice to see you transition away from routers as standard though considering about 70% of people upgrade to them after about a year anyway.

[@themechanix393]

You can easily spend 5k on an ATC and accessories alone...
