6/1/2023 0 Comments Shapeoko vs openbuildsShapeoko wanted me to have the machine because they were confident their machine was superior. The Shapeoko arrived shortly after the X-carve. To their credit, X-carve did make it very user friendly with their Easel software and i was carving my first item soon after assembly but the assembly is enough to be a deal breaker for a lot of consumers. If you're like me and have zero experience in a particular area the idea of assembling something like this and learning the software is intimidating enough to make you spend your money elsewhere. I've always said that intimidation plays a huge factor in someone's decision to jump into cnc mostly because so many have zero experience in it. It came in a million pieces and took me around 12-14hrs to put together. I think I was jaded from the beginning from the assembly. This blog is to highlight the differences to help you make the best choice. X-Carve got me into cnc woodworking and the Shapeoko changed my business. My goal is to share my experiences and give and honest assessment. If you came here expecting to read a blog bashing other cnc machines then this blog isn't for you.
