Shop Sabre Pro 408 1 Year Review

Here is my personal use 1 year review of the shop Sabre pro 408. I’m only running it maybe 1-2 days a week

Dude great overview, liked the video

[@bradmaxwell7930]

Nice video, good info, we just purchased the pro408….

[@a1lewis4]

It’s been good to me! A few issues but nothing the tech support couldn’t fix

[@jasonharris8728]

What a mess. Glad you're making chips and all but take care of the equipment you've invested in.

[@brettrehbehn]

Which horsepower spindle did you go with? Thanks for the video. I’m just about to purchase one.

[@a1lewis4]

I think it’s the 10. Whichever the highest is

[@brettrehbehn]

@@a1lewis4 I was all set to get the “IS” series, but it’s closet to 80k for the 5x10 table which I need. Do you feel that the “Pro” series is plenty heavy duty enough. I just do cabinetry and furniture. And I’ve never owned a cnc. But I feel a little like they might be upselling me.

@@brettrehbehn this pro is so fast. It’s faster than what you can keep up with. I’m only running it 4-5 hours a week

Constructive feedback: It can be a little hard to hear you at times. A small mic (about $50 +/- on Amazon) can make a hugh difference. The audio would make viewing your video easier and more enjoyable.

Noted!

How tall is it without the air balancer

[@a1lewis4]

Great question. It comes almost fully assembled. I’d have to guess around 5’ tall. Might could look at the specs online or I can measure tomorrow

[@thedirtyknobs]

Was the loosing of gantry bolt the only issue?

[@a1lewis4]

I had 1 relay inside the control box go out but tech help solved it. Besides that nothing else. I’ve had some self inflicted issues lol

[@thedirtyknobs]

That's good .. I have a cammaster that's a pice of junk .. looking to upgrade .. shopsaber seems to be built like a Haas or other ball screw machines

[@a1lewis4]

@@thedirtyknobs it’s most definitely way up there. The tech support is unreal and those guys know everything about them. The Facebook group is very good too
