Shapeoko 5 Pro: 65 mm and 80 mm spindle kits and mounts
Carbide 3D's fit notes for the Shapeoko 5 Pro: the 65 mm kit's adapter cable, the 80 mm kit and mount, its supply rules and Hybrid Table hardware.
Also listed as S5 Pro, Shapeoko 5
Short answer
The Shapeoko 5 Pro is the only machine Carbide 3D lists for its 80 mm spindle kit, and its 80 mm mount fits no other Shapeoko. The 65 mm VFD kit also fits, but needs an adapter cable to the controller. The 80 mm kit uses a 220 V VFD with an L6-20 plug, while the 65 mm kit is 110 V only.
Key facts
- Maker and model
- Carbide 3D Shapeoko 5 Pro[1]A separate 5.1 Pro designation does not appear on the 80 mm kit pages.
- Z axis or slider
- Spindle mount with alternate M6 hole positions[2]Carbide 3D's 65 mm guide says to raise the mount to the middle set of M6 holes on the 5 Pro; that step applies only to this machine.
- Router or spindle it ships with
- Not confirmed
- Mount it ships with
- Not confirmed
- Other mounts the maker lists
- Carbide 3D 80 mm Spindle Mount for the Shapeoko 5 Pro, with four M6 x 35 mm bolts. It sits higher on the machine than the 65 mm mount.[3][4]The standalone mount does not include the dust boot or gas strut kit.
- Mounts and kits the maker excludes
- Carbide 3D's 80 mm Spindle Mount will not fit other Shapeoko machines.[3]
- Spindle kits that name it
- Carbide 3D 65 mm VFD Spindle Kit (needs an adapter cable on the 5 Pro) and Carbide 3D 80 mm spindle kit (the 5 Pro is its only supported machine)[2][1][4]The 80 mm kit includes an 80 mm dovetail mount, a water-cooled spindle, an enclosed 220 V VFD, a 5 Pro gas strut kit, an 80 mm Sweepy 2.0 and a CW3000 chiller. Coolant is not included.
- Supply the maker's kits require
- 65 mm VFD kit: 110 V only, does not work on 220 V power or on a GFCI outlet. 80 mm kit: 220 V VFD with an L6-20 plug; its CW3000 chiller runs on a standard 110 V NEMA 5-15 outlet.[5][1]Quoted from the maker. The kit manual and a qualified electrician decide the circuit; we give no wiring or outlet advice.
- Collets supplied
- 65 mm kit: 1/8, 1/4 and 3/8 in ER16 with an ER16M (M19) nut. 80 mm kit: 1/8, 1/4 and 1/2 in ER20 with an ER20 nut.[6][1]These come with the spindle kits, not with the machine.
- Table and workholding thread
- Hybrid Table with M6 x 1.0 hardware: Carbide 3D lists the Shapeoko 5 Pro and 5.1 Pro for its Crush-It Nutz 'n Bolts kit.[7]
- Dust boots that name it
- Carbide 3D Sweepy 2.0 (65, 69 or 80 mm collar); the 80 mm version ships in the 80 mm spindle kit[8][1][9]Carbide 3D also says the 80 mm spindle works with Sweepy Pro on the 5 Pro and 5.1 Pro using the 80 mm ring that ships with Sweepy Pro. It does not recommend 35 mm vacuum hoses with the 80 mm spindle.
- Maker support for third-party parts
- Not confirmed
Watch out for
- The 65 mm VFD kit needs an adapter cable between the kit's communications cable and the 5 Pro's controller.
- The 80 mm mount sits higher on the 5 Pro than the 65 mm mount, and it will not fit any other Shapeoko.
- The 80 mm kit's VFD is 220 V with an L6-20 plug, unlike the 110 V-only 65 mm kit. Follow the kit manual and a qualified electrician.
- Carbide 3D does not recommend 35 mm vacuum hoses with the 80 mm spindle because they can clog.
This is a reference for owners, not a machine recommendation. For the 80 mm interface across makers, see 80 mm mounts and ER20 collets.
Questions
Which Shapeoko takes the Carbide 3D 80 mm spindle kit?
Only the Shapeoko 5 Pro. Carbide 3D's guide lists it as the only supported machine, and the standalone 80 mm mount will not fit other Shapeoko machines.[1][3]
What supply does the Carbide 3D 80 mm spindle kit need?
Carbide 3D says the kit uses a 220 V VFD with an L6-20 plug, and its CW3000 chiller runs on a standard 110 V NEMA 5-15 outlet. The kit manual and a qualified electrician decide the circuit.[1]
Do I need anything extra to fit the 65 mm VFD kit to a Shapeoko 5 Pro?
Carbide 3D's guide says the 5 Pro needs an adapter cable between the kit's communications cable and the controller, and the mount is raised to the middle set of M6 holes.[2]
