  • PoKeys57CNC USB/Ethernet Controller, Mach3/Mach4 supported
  • Comes with 2.2kW Spindle and Inverter with water-cooling system. 110V or 220V available.
  • Standard Size 4' x 8'. We can alter the machine to fit custom lengths on X and Y axis travel. Get the cutting area you really need!


We started the design process for this machine with a blank slate, incorporating everything we’ve learned over the past decade spent designing, manufacturing, and using production automation of all types, from Desktop CNCs to 4 foot by 8 foot 80 Watt Laser cutters. The end result was The Fabricator Pro: A machine which we strongly believe will be a game-changer for the digital fab industry.

Our newest tool continues the mission we started when we began making CNC machines in our garage: To provide affordable, yet extremely capable machines that enable anyone to turn ideas into reality.

With unique features that solve common problems with other machines, the Fabricator Pro offers you greater value and flexibility than anything else on the market.

Important Things To Know:

    The entire machine will take about 21-31 business days to produce and send out under normal circumstances. During busy periods this could increase to 31-42 business days. You can always contact us for an accurate estimate before purchasing. We include a standard amount of 50 feet of motor cable. The recommended length is for systems in which the computer will be placed right next to the machine. If you plan on having the computer further away from the machine you will need to purchase longer cable lengths. If you are unsure about how many feet of cable you need, please call or email us and we will assist you. The Spindle will require 12/3, 14/3, or 16/3 gauge cable for wiring from the inverter to the wall. You will also need 4 conductor wire for wiring the Spindle to the inverter as a 4th wire for ground is needed. It is important to understand the electrical requirements for wiring the Spindle, so for this reason we strongly recommend you check with a licensed electrician before attempting to wire it.

Instructions

1
Step 1
This is an example of the Fabricator Pro cutting aluminum parts for a customer that has the previous version of the Vertical Laser XL machine. The new Vertical Laser XL machine now has very strong rails and bearing block for the nozzle mount, but this customer has the previous version and needed a stronger nozzle mount.

Step 2
The Fabricator Pro Cutting a dust shoe for a customer. The material being cut is clear cast acrylic.

Step 3
This is part 6 of a longer series on how to use Fusion 360 from the perspective of an Autodesk Inventor User. I am showing this part here because it is where I use the Fabricator Pro to cut out the parts that were designed in Fusion 360.

Step 4
Since the machine is sold as plans, or assembled, instructions are provided in digital form, or as a large plans set. These following videos are of a very large (8' x 17') version of this machine for a customer in Wisconsin. This will give you an idea what is involved in setting up a machine if you plan on getting the assembled version. You will notice that I cut some rails in the video, but that is not necessary as all parts come pre-cut. This is part 1 of the 8'x17' Fabricator Pro build

Questions & Answers

Have a Question?

Ask a Question
  • Do you have a model of the Fabricator pro that can be inclined line the lean? I have seen a few other machines on the market like this. Can we use Mach4 with the fabricator pro

    Yes, you can use Mach4 wtih the Fabricator Pro CNC machine. We have not designed a metal machine like the Fabricator Pro to lean more in the vertical orientation. Unfortunately, we haven't gotten any requests for that style of machine, and the greenLean, although a great machine and space saver, has not been our best seller. If we get more interest in this type of machine, we would have no problem designing a machine like this.

  • Do you have a machine that is made of metal?

    Yes, we have a machine called the Fabricator Pro. The overall machine is made of aluminum. Here is the webpage for that CNC: https://buildyourcnc.com/Item/cnc-machine-fabricator-pro-milling-machine

  • Does this machine come assembled?

    If you purchase the assembled version of the machine, the gantry will come assembled, but the table will come as a kit.
