CNC Routers
Used ShopSabre PRO408: Sell or Buy at Auction
ShopSabre builds CNC routers and plasma tables in Minnesota, spanning entry-level RC machines through the industrial IS series. The machines are deliberately assembled from off-the-shelf industrial components and ship fully built, which is why they have a following among sign shops and cabinet shops that do not keep a service technician on staff. Factory phone support and domestic parts availability keep used ShopSabre demand steady.
Sized to run full 4-by-8 sheet stock, the ShopSabre PRO408 is the volume model in the PRO Series and one of the most common CNC router configurations changing hands in the used market. Verified specs include a 5 HP, 24,000 RPM spindle, ball screw drive with dual-Y AC servo motors, 1200 IPM rapid travel, and +/-.001 inch repeatability, running on ShopSabre's WINCNC controller. Because the 4x8 footprint matches standard sheet goods, demand spans cabinet shops, sign makers, furniture manufacturers, and plastics fabricators. KD Auctions moves these units through a network of 500,000+ industry contacts, backed by an active secondary market for ShopSabre parts and support.
Buying a Used PRO408
Sign and graphics shops, custom cabinet and closet shops, architectural millwork firms, plastics fabricators, trade schools, and metal shops buying the plasma tables. ShopSabre sits at the price point where a growing shop makes its first CNC purchase, so the used bidder pool is broad and geographically spread rather than concentrated in a few industrial metros.

ShopSabre machines auction well because they are American-built and still supported by the factory, so a buyer is not gambling on parts. The strongest results come from machines consigned with the vacuum pump, dust collection, tool holders, and documented spindle hours: a bare table and gantry sells to a much thinner crowd.

How fast can KD Auctions sell a used ShopSabre PRO408?
A managed auction typically runs 6 to 10 weeks from listing to close, with onsite dispatch and removal coordinated within 48 to 72 hours of the sale. Call 480.455.3910 to discuss timing for your specific machine.
What's the difference between the ShopSabre PRO and IS series?
Both use ball screw drives and AC servo motors, but the IS Series steps up to a heavier steel frame, glass-encoder servo technology, and linear guide rails for tighter tolerances, while the PRO Series delivers similar core performance in a lighter, more cost-accessible package like the PRO408.
