Includes Everything You Need to Install a Laser on Your Shapeoko5 Pro or HDM machine.
Seamless Integration with Shapeoko5 and HDM machines
The J Tech laser upgrade is plug-and-play compatible with Shapeoko machines — including the Shapeoko5 and the HDM series. Installation kits include everything you need:
- Mounting hardware
- Magnetic laser shroud
- Safety Interface Board (SI)
- Power supply
- Extension cables
- OD4+ safety goggles
Choose either the Shapeoko5 or the HDM
The only difference in the laser kit for the Shapeoko 5 and the HDM is the mounting. The Shapeoko 5 will have the mount in the accessory port on the left for all of the lasers except for the 34W and 64W (which is mounted directly on the right with a metal mounting plate). The HDM will have the 80mm spindle clamp mount because of the height.
We offer direct support for upgrading these machines, and yes — our systems work perfectly with LightBurn and Vectric software packages.
