We offer a complete CNC routing/milling solution.

The machine is a Shapeoko/X-carve hybrid. Our standard build is 1x1m, giving you an effecting working area of 800×800. While we can build custom size machines it should be remembered that supporting the width of the machine is near impossible and long spans can potentially lead to loss of rigidity. Along the length of the machine additional support is easily achieved.

Our standard build comprise of 2 Nema 23 motors driving the Y axis (both 1Nm steppers mounted to X-carve style endplates) with 1 Nema 23 driving the X axis, both X and Y use 6mm GT2 belts for propulsion. The Z axis is driven by a Nema17 motor trough a M8 rod.

In addition to this, unlike a DIY ordered kit your electronics comes fitted in an enclosure, ready for you to plug and play. We do not use a “shield” on the Ardunio controller as we find it insufficient for driving the Nema 23 motors. Instead we use 3 individual controllers.

Our current offerings are:

 

A complete machine without router (source your own spindle and mounting brackets) – R14500 (Ex VAT), Or R11700 (Ex VAT) if you are up to the challenge of building the machine yourself – The DIY option will be shipped without waist board, to keep shipment costs down.

 

A complete machine with router (A 710W Makita trimmer with variable speed control mounted with 16mm Aluminium brackets) – R17000 (Ex VAT), or R14200 (Ex VAT) if you are up to the challenge of building the machine yourself – The DIY option will be shipped without waist board, to keep shipment costs down.

 

A DIY mechanical kit (all the parts you’ll need for the mechanical assembly of your own CNC machine – just ad your electronics and remember the brackets will be uncoated and you’ll still need a waist board) – R5500 (Ex VAT)
