New to CNC Routing,just about to pull the trigger on a Shop Sabre 23 machine as a hobby/lite business machine. Anyone have a thoughts or experience on this as an entry level machine,or with this company in general?? I am in Canada and not too choices other than a lot of off shore brands with no service etc.
Any thoughts much appreciated!!

Hi. I am curious if you ended up getting the ShopSabre? I got mine 3 months ago and I live in Canada also. I am blown away at how well the machine is built. I use mine at least 5 days a week and it’s by far one of the best purchases I have ever made. I’d buy another no questions asked. I can’t say enough about it.

The ShopSabre is one amazing machine. Absolutely no negatives about it at all. Rock solid and without a doubt one of the best purchases I have ever made. The saying they have, buy your second machine first is right on.

Hi. It definitely is I’d say almost a perfect machine. I had a CWI professor HDX and it was a piece of junk compared to the ShopSabre. Other than it being a CNC machine that was the only thing in common. I still own an Axiom Precision AR6 Basic and it is my backup machine. It’s not even on the same level as the ShopSabre. The funny thing is that their motto at ShopSabre saying “Buy your Second Machine First”. Is 100% correct. Ballscrews are the way to go compared to rack and pinion that one of their main competitors in this price bracket use. I know this about ballscrews as I was in an industry with both. So if anyone out there is considering a ShopSabre or even a machine with ballscrews versus rack and pinion. Feel free to contact me.
