Make projects on the benchtop using one of our accurate and powerful machines. These machines are used for woodworking projects, moulding knife template making, PCB trace isolation, drilling and cutout, Engraving, Inlay, 3D surface machining, small signs and plaques, hole cutouts in electrical and control panels, name tags, jewelry, fishing lures, musical instruments, V-carving, model railroading, doll houses, and on and on. The machines are designed to cut wood and plastics, and can be used for light cuts in non-ferrous metals.

-Servo based control systems for Serial, Parallel, or USB computer ports on personal computers running Windows, DOS, or Linux

-All metal construction. Aluminum framework and Hardened Steel for linear Guideways.

-Aluminum components are black anodized and Steel rails are black oxide to prevent rust and deterioration.

FAQ:

Machine is a fixed gantry, moving table design. Z axis is precision Thompson rods with linear ball bearings. Z axis frame and table are constructed of cast tooling plate to assure precision alignment and reliability. Y and Z axis are constructed with V-groove bearing wheels on hardened steel track. Aluminum parts are all black anodized and steel track is black oxide coated to resist corrosion. No plastic or MDF is used for frame construction, moving surfaces, or table. The machine travels are slightly larger than 12 x 12 x 4 inches. It is designed for cutting wood and plastic. It will also make light cuts in materials such as aluminum and brass. At rest, the motors are roughly equivalent to 270 oz-in steppers. Once in motion they have much better dynamic performance. The Trend router has a 1/4 collet ( 1/8 and 3/16 sleeve adaptors are available at extra cost) with built in electronic variable speed controller. The system uses the DeskCNC SV-500 servo drives, Globe servo motors with encoders and belt reducers, and acme threads on the lead screws. All axes have pre-loaded thrust bearings and anti-backlash nuts with no measurable backlash.
