Used ShopSabre PRO

On KD Machinery’s listings the ShopSabre PRO is a CNC router in three sizes, the PRO404, PRO408 and PRO510, and the digits read as the nominal sheet size in feet. KD Machinery buys and sells used PROs built from 2018 to 2025.

Which PRO is which

Read the three digits as the nominal sheet size in feet. The PRO408 is the 4 by 8 foot machine, common on KD Machinery’s record. The PRO510 is the 5 by 10, and the PRO404 the small 4 by 4. The table sizes on the listings run a little larger than the sheet: a PRO408 is usually listed with a 60 by 96 inch table and a PRO510 with a 60 by 120 inch table. If you cut full 5 by 10 sheets, only the PRO510 will take one in a single setup.

Spindle and tool changer

Most PROs KD Machinery has listed carry a 24,000 rpm HSD spindle with an automatic tool changer, usually 10 hp and sometimes 5 hp. Tool changers on the record run from 5 to 12 positions. The 18,000 rpm machines have a smaller 4 hp spindle and no tool changer listed, and at least one is listed as a manual tool change. A manual-change machine costs less to buy and more in operator time, so price the two separately.

Software and power

The PRO listings that name the control give WinCNC on a ShopSabre computer, and many PROs on the record were sold with Vectric VCarve Pro for design and toolpaths. Several listings note that the software may need re-registration, with a fee, for a new owner, so ask what transfers with the machine. Check the power, too: KD Machinery has listed PROs on single-phase and on three-phase supplies, and the shop’s service has to match.

What to check on a used PRO

Run the spindle up through its range and listen for bearing noise. Jog the gantry the full length of the table and look at the rails and racks for wear and dust packing. Test every vacuum zone with a sheet on the table; four zones are common. Many listings include a tool measure switch and a material height touch pad; if yours does, check both work.

Other ShopSabre machines and routers

KD Machinery also lists the ShopSabre IS and RC lines, which are separate machines with their own sizes. To compare a PRO with other makes, browse used CNC routers or the larger used Multicam CNC routers.
