Why CNC Prices Are Rising — and Why It Still Makes Sense to Buy Now

ShopBot MAX ATC cutting HDPE

Why Buy Now?

Placing your order before June 16 allows you to lock in current pricing and avoid the increase. It’s also a smart time to buy if you’re planning for summer production, school-year prep, or scaling up your shop’s capabilities.

Here’s why customers choose ShopBot:

  • Machines are in stock and ready to ship
  • Our tools are modular and upgradeable
  • We offer flexible financing options
  • Built and supported in the USA

From one-off projects to full production runs, a ShopBot CNC is a long-term investment in accessibility and productivity — and now’s a great time to make it happen.

At ShopBot Tools, we work hard to keep CNC equipment affordable and accessible — especially for schools, small shops, and independent makers. We also believe in being transparent when changes are coming.

As we approach a price adjustment on June 16, 2025, we want to share what’s driving it — and why now is still a great time to invest in a ShopBot CNC.

What’s Driving the Change?

Across the manufacturing world, costs continue to rise. We’re seeing increased prices for:

  • Raw materials like steel, aluminum, and components
  • Precision electronics and control systems
  • Shipping, freight, and packaging

Even though every ShopBot is engineered, built, and supported right here in Durham, North Carolina, global supply chains affect certain parts and materials we rely on. Rather than make abrupt or frequent changes, we’ve worked to keep this upcoming increase modest — and communicated clearly in advance.
