JTech Shapeoko Pro Mount

So Jtech released a specific mount for the Shapeoko Pro and have commented in an email “Everyone who has used it says it works well”

Hoping someone on this forum can validate that before I pull the trigger.

The link you provided says $14.99. Not much of a trigger to pull considering the cost of the other amenities we buy for the Shapeoko.

It would only cost $15 if I owned the laser, but regrettably my actual price is ~$700 (which will come with the new mount).

So I was just hoping someone who is using this J tech laser with the new Shapeoko Pro mount can give some honest feedback before I pull the “buy” trigger (as there are a few different laser options out there)

@jepho Can you confirm you attached this to the Pro. My understanding was you had the Shapeoko 3 and my question specifically related to the new Pro mount.

FYI - your comments about Jay have been echoed in so many other posts and is the primary reason why I was considering getting the JTech vs the competitors. It’s clear in this line of work you need good technical support.

I cannot speak for the pro mount - because I don’t have a pro. But since some of the “jump” is the cost of the laser itself, I will echo those who are big fans of the JTech lasers and attachments. I love my 7W and absolutely swear by it. The mount (not the pro mount - I have the SuckIt mount) is sturdy and consistent. Jay’s support is wonderful - I only needed it in the beginning, and he was quick and thorough - even giving me some great ideas for vapor collection and tricks for alignment that weren’t even in his product domain

@Intohouse You’re also going to find that Lightburn is a much more powerful design tool - and, since the middle of last year when both companies worked to tolerate each other’s formats, you can export an SVG from Lightburn and bring it into CC; and vice versa. So you’ll find yourself doing a quite a bit of design in Lightburn, even for your projects you don’t plan on burning.

Lightburn, by the way, is cheap and well worth it.
