Hey! I am thinking of purchasing a Shapeoko 4XXL. I've been on the fence due to noise level. Would it be too loud for a townhome garage? Would I be likely to get noise complaints due to this machine?
It's not that loud if u keep d doors and windows closed and work in the daytime, if you want to have a loudness level it's not at loud as a shopVAc vacuum ( 17liters) . Typical angle grinders are way louder, a normal house blender it's a bit louder. I hope this helps.
I agree with Hollee, it's not terribly loud. I had it in an attached garage, and while I could hear it through the walls, it wasn't too bad. My wife could not hear it when she was upstairs (diagonally up from the garage) To be extra safe, you could build an enclosure for the shapeoko. It might be overkill, but that's what I'd do if I was in a townhome.
Geoff in the Garage I basically have a list of things! I’m a cabinet making from a few years back and I would like to create some things that might bring in a few dollars at the market for my pocket!
I just bought the Shapeoko 4 XXL CNC Router, mind if I ask you what size you built the table your CNC sits on? And if you wanted to add a enclosure to the table could you on the size it is now? Great video!!
Thanks! I can't recall the exact size, but it was around 54 wide by 48 deep; enough to give a few inches of clearance on every side. I'd say there is room for an enclosure, but I'd made it a little wider on the long side to give the box some wiggle room, especially if you are building a box for soundproofing purposes.
I previously had the hobby version of fusion360 and used it with the Shapeoko when I got the machine. Carbide has their own design software, Carbide Create, but I was already more familiar with Fusion
thanks, GeoffintheGarage. I appreciate your video here!
0:08 is that "Going to Pasalacqua" by Green Day
Yep! Good ear. Solid song
How's it going now? You made this video, a year ago? Is it working fine, still, your machine? 😊

How are you liking this machine? I’m in the market for one and I think this is the one!
I'm liking it! Solid build, very capable. What are you hoping to make with it?

Nothing major but I believe I have a few cool ideas I haven’t seen in the market yet!
Very cool! There is a ton of application in cabinetry alone. I hope to see what you make when you do get your machine!
Geoff in the Garage I can not wait to get started! I will definitely post the creations I make

Thank you!
Other than the Cad design, would you say the Shapeoko would be suitable for a complete novice?
Do you have to have the fusion 360 for this machine. Or is it something you had and now use it with it

Hello just bought the same machine. Do you happen to have the plans for the table you built for it? Thank you in advance.
Here's a pdf with dimensions of the table surface: drive.protonmail.com/urls/8D82DQYEXR#P5B3BFT2LIM8
What are your table dimensions? Looks perfect for me.
54x44.5 inches. Here's a drawing of how I put the top together: drive.protonmail.com/urls/8D82DQYEXR#P5B3BFT2LIM8
@@GeoffintheGarage I really appreciate your reply. I'll be using your plans to make my table. Thank you so much!
@@GeoffintheGarage Built the table today with your plans. Machine comes tomorrow. Going to work perfect! Thanks again
Care to share your plans in pdf for your table?
Did ur shapeoko come with a bit-zero or do u have to add it on to ur order?
I had to add it to the order. Really handy for setting the z-axis zero point.
Where are you loading the test file from?
Carbide Motion to load the file, and so far all of my files have been run from there.
going to pasaquala intro and outro
Hahaha, excellent catch! Even with pitch change and reverb added
@@GeoffintheGarage Probably my favorite song by them, cool video none the less!
@@andytrank6241 Thanks, I appreciate that!
