Upgrade your Shapeoko 5 Pro with thicker slats, smarter workholding, and longer surfacing life.
Product Description
Overview
These V2 upgraded waste board slats are a direct, drop-in replacement for the stock slats on the Shapeoko 5 Pro 2×4 or 2×2 CNC, designed to give you more versatility, more surfacing life, and better workholding options.
Each set is precision-made from 1″ thick ultralight MDF, providing significantly more usable material than the factory 3/4″ slats. That extra thickness translates to more flattening passes, increased rigidity, and a longer service life before replacement.
V2 Upgrade Features
-
36 or 72 M5 threaded inserts pre-installed for flexible clamping and fixture mounting
-
36 or 72 precision-cut 20mm dog holes for fence alignment and positioning
-
1″ thick ultralight MDF for added rigidity and extended surfacing life
-
Drop-in replacement – no machine modification required
-
Designed specifically for the Shapeoko 5 Pro 2×4 or 2×2
Bench dogs are not included but are available separately in my store. Any standard 20mm dogs will fit.
