Pro CNC made simple
We designed this machine with a goal in mind: providing a very reliable and ergonomic desktop CNC router, having high-standard performances at an affordable price. Based on our experience in machine design and CNC machining in general, we made several design choices that greatly influence the performances and durability of this machine.
First of all, each axis is driven using ballscrews. They have a very high mechanical efficiency compared to classical leadscrews: they are more precise without having any backlash, they require little maintenance and have a much longer lifespan. Expect to make precise cuts for a long time, without the hassle of recalibrating your machine.
Secondly, each axis is mounted on linear supported rails to increase the overall stiffness of the machine. All connection parts are also made out of thick steel plates, precisely cut with digital manufacturing techniques. These features make it capable of cutting a wide range of materials, from plastics and wood to aluminium or steel.
In terms of speed, we carefully picked robust stepper motors, which can hold a high torque even when running at high speeds. This will allow you to make precise cuts at high speed, and thus to optimise your feeds and speeds if you need to make production batches.
Lastly, it is a plug-and-play machine, comes preconfigured and doesn't require any external computer. Indeed, the control box holds a Raspberry Pi 4B, providing a user-friendly interface to control the CNC machine.
A modular machine, very easy to assemble
Like every tool we design, this CNC milling machine is completely modular. It means that you can choose the size that suits you the best, depending on the space available inside your workshop or depending on what you want to make out of it.
This modularity extends to the spoiler board, which can be removed very easily using toggle clamps and changed with another working table of your choice. It also allows to mill parts with a large height that would normally stand above the clearance height of the machine.
We also know that mounting a CNC machine can be an intimidating task, so we decided to create a series of videos to guide you through the assembly process. The whole machine will be mounted within half a day, without any complicated written instructions to follow.
Made in Europe
All the manufactured parts used on this machine are manufactured in Belgium and everything is pre-assembled and tested in our workshop. The kit also includes a high quality spindle from a German brand and all the electronic boards used inside the control box are made in Europe.
1-year Warranty & lifetime spare parts availability
We offer a 1-year limited warranty on our machines. Please refer to our warranty page for more information. In case you have a problem that is not in the scope of our warranty, we guarantee the availability of all the spare parts of our machines for sale.
What's included
Unlike many other machines out there, our CNC router is a plug-and-play machine with no configuration require. We decided to create a kit that includes everything you need, without any add-ons hidden costs.
Here is what you'll get :
- A 3-axis CNC router, with 4 motors and 5 inductive limit switches
- A plug-and-play electronic control box, already assembled and tested
- An HDMI cable and a power cable for the electronic box (EU plug)
- PlanetCNC software, pre-installed on a Raspberry Pi 4 and already configured (software used to control your machine)
- An AMB (Kress) FME-P 1050 milling motor
- A touch probe device to locate your workpieces easily
- A dust shoe to mill wood and keep a dust free workshop
- All the basic tools necessary to assemble the machine
With all those parts, you will be able to build a fully functional 3-axis CNC router.
What's not included
Yet, you will need to add the following elements to be able to start milling parts properly:
A spoiler board. At first, we recommend using a simple wood panel, which is enough to get a grasp on CNC machining. We recommend reading our article on spoilerboards to find what works best for you. A screen with an HDMI input, a USB mouse and a USB keyboard, to connect to your electronic box as the main control interface for your machine.
A CAM software. You will need a Computer Aided Manufacturing software to translate your 3D models into a G-code readable by the machine. We suggest you to use free options like Fusion360 or SketchupCAM.
A table which can bear the weight of the machine and which has enough space to put your control interfaces: screen, keyboard and mouse. It needs to be robust and stiff, as vibrations will affect the precision of your cuts. You can have a look at the table we developed for this machine on our shop.
