SmartBench V1.3 PrecisionPro + CNC Router

SmartBench PrecisionPro + is a World first. Introducing: YetiPilot, our AI Milling function - learning CNC has never been easier.

YetiPilot listens and monitors the tool, consequently adjusting your feeds and speeds for you. This means you can save time through job optimisation, reduce job failure, and extend tool and brush life.

Designed with customers in mind, it takes 3 minutes to pack down and fits in an SUV so you can take CNC with you. It is accurate to +/- 0.02'' and better when using a finishing pass. PrecisionPro + can process 4ft x 8ft sheets. It can hold materials as thick as 6 inches and has a Z-axis travel of 5.1 inches.

Combined with ShapeCutter our console-based cutting app, you have an intuitive and powerful tool at your fingertips allowing you to start creating like never before. For those new to CNC, ShapeCutter has a walk-through job wizard making getting started a simple process.

SmartBench is my go-to machine and the hub of my workshop; I don't know what I'd do without it.
— J Hancock
The Smartbench has greatly expanded my scope of projects I can take on.
— K Gaskell
I have made 150+ BTCC splitters with SmartBench. With PrecisionPro + it was 1/3 quicker
— R Austin
To have the ability to cut a full sheet of material without having to spend out on a full bed machine was a massive plus point for me.
— R Comer
I love my Yeti SmartBench and wouldn't trade it for anything. It is the primary reason I have been able to make a career change in the past year.

Quality and safety in mind
One of our main drives when designing SmartBench was to make a tool which repeatedly produces finished parts within it's stated tolerance time and time again.
  • Reliable and repeatable performance with our patented design
  • Finished part accuracy starts at +/-0.020" or better
  • Tolerances of +/- 0.009" are achievable with good tool path strategies and sharp tooling
  • Listen to your cut and adjust accordingly with our "On the fly" spindle and feed speed control
  • Automatic or manual squaring depending on the finish results required
  • Simple calibration walk through app
 
Next generation Yeti spindle and ZHead V3 takes SmartBench to the next level
  • 1000W Yeti High Performance spindle
  • Digital speed control
  • 5 key spindle metrics reported every 50 milliseconds
  • Brush life stored on the spindle
  • Higher resolution job pause on overload function
 
Safety upper most in our minds.
  • CE certified and FCC Compliant
  • Remote software upgrades means you get the benefit of our ever increasing library of cutting apps
  • E Stop
  • Interrupt bars along the x axis

What else do I need?
CAD/CAM software

In order to get cutting, you’ll need to use your own CAD/CAM software to design and create your projects. We recommend you use Vectric VCarve Pro or Autodesk's Fusion 360 to model and CAM process your files. Fusion is free to makers, education and small businesses.

Other G Code generating CAD/CAM packages can be used.

Router bits

Standard router bits with a shank of up to a maximum 10mm diameter can be used to fit the router head.

Extraction

You will need to provide an extraction unit to attach our standard hose to, and then plug the power supply into the on/off socket provided.

Pricing, Warranty, Installation & Maintenance
Pricing

VAT or your local sales tax are not included in the quoted prices.
