What modifications are needed to add more tools to my ShopSabre CNC Router?

Here's a list of things you'll likely need to do for most ShopSabre CNC Router tool position upgrades:

Have the ShopSabre Drop-in Kit? See that guide here.

• Remove any existing racks and disconnect the tool height probe.

• Install provided infill parts in the previous ATC rack pocket.

• Use one of our CAD pattern files to face flush the infill parts and drill the mounting patterns.

• Drill and Tap into the steel frame below your bed by hand. We don't recommend drilling or tapping with your router spindle.

  • Alternative mounting could involve using washers and nuts or backup blocks below the bed surface.

  • Phenolic is likely strong enough to be tapped, MDF is not. We recommend tapping into the steel frame regardless - hardware and tap, (but not tap handle) provided.

• Mount Bases to Bed

• Mount Risers on Bases

• Mount Forks on Risers

• Mount Tool Height Probe

• Change WinCNC files:

  • For New Number of Tools

  • Set New Positions of Tools (XYZ Coordinates)

  • Set New Position for Tool Height Probe

  • Optional - raise the spindle higher during tool change.
