What's in the box, and what you'll still need

Included, per the page

  • The machine: frame, motion system and electronics
  • Software named on the page: Carbide Motion, Carbide Create Core

You'll still need

  • A router or spindle. Not included; takes a 65 mm trim router or Carbide 3D's VFD spindle
  • A stand or legs (sold as an option, per the price note).
  • Router bits, workholding (clamps) and a dust solution; no page in the record includes these in the base price.

Built from what the maker's page says is included. More in what's in the box.

Cost to start cutting

Machine$3,550.00
Carbide Compact Router$80.00

The Shapeoko page asks for a 65 mm trim router; this is Carbide 3D's own. Bits, workholding, dust collection, software and a table aren't counted; add your own in the cost estimate. Accessory prices read 1 November 2026.
