Welcome and Congratulations
The Shapeoko5Pro is a high-performance CNC router that comes with everything you need to accurately
cut wood, plastic, and aluminum, so you can turn your workbench into a business. At up to 4 feet in width,
Shapeoko5Pro is bigger than ever, so you can take on larger jobs or nest more parts together and run the
machine longer. It’s not just a CNC router, it’s a complete system of hardware, software, accessories, and
training, built and supported in the USA.
Assembly Notes
• We’ll walk you through the assembly process step-by-step in this guide. Precision-machined parts and
pre-assembled components, mean quicker assembly, in fewer steps!
• The use of power tools is not recommended for assembly. Use hand tools only.
• Some steps rely on non-tightened fasteners. Do not tighten fasteners beyond finger-tight until instructed.
• See the Glossary of Terms at the end of this guide for common CNC terms and definitions.
• Your Shapeoko5Pro gantry is powered by stepper motors. When the power is o, moving the motors by
hand will cause them to generate electricity. IMPORTANT: When moving the gantry by hand, go slowly. The
power generated by the stepper motors will feel like bumps. If the red LED on the controller lights up when
moving the stepper motors, it’s important to slow down because you are pushing electricity back through the
board. Too much backflow could damage the controller.
Software Requirements
The Shapeoko5Pro controller must be used with the latest version of Carbide Motion.
