💥New Equipment Alert💥 Meet our new CNC router, the ShopSabre PRO408!
The ShopSabre PRO408 is one of the crown jewels in our shop repertoire, allowing students to quickly and accurately translate digital files into reality. CNC fabrication offers for precision and variability that would otherwise be difficult to attain with other fabrication tools, with the ability to handle a variety of materials like wood, composites, foam, and plastics.
Our new Shop Sabre offers the largest working area of any of our machines (48” x 96” x 12”, 4” improved z-height movement over our old machine) and automatic tool changes, enabling students to complete complex jobs more quickly and with less guesswork. She also wears a new fancy dust skirt that offers a drastic improvement over our previous machine’s skirt -- if you’ve ever had to clean up after a foam or MDF job you will greatly appreciate this new addition.
Our new equipment brought to you thanks to a generous donation from long-time Illinois Tech Board of Trustees member Ed Kaplan (ME ’65).
