How to Assemble the Shapeoko 4 CNC Router

A primer on the steps required to build the Shapeoko 4.

Build Notes:
- In the last box ("Controller") there is a small bag of extra/spare fasteners. If you are missing a screw, check there for a replacement first.
- V-Wheels will be black on production machines.

[ Per Rob G., on 5/3/21 ]
We just put our first batch of the new Shapeoko in stock and we wanted to share the plan for today and the next few weeks.

We started with a batch of XXL machines, since that’s our most popular size, but the XL version should be available in the next few days. The XXL machines will begin shipping today and tomorrow (depending on the time of purchase and the shipping cutoff for the day).

The Standard machine is waiting on a revision to the sheet metal that makes the assembly easier. We made a small mistake that would have required removing part of the hybrid table to get to other parts of the machine and we couldn’t let a new Shapeoko go out like that. Hopefully, we’ll be ready to ship the Standard machine at the beginning of June.

BitSetter for Shapeoko 4 is in production now and we expect to have that up for sale in the next couple of weeks.
