Small Machine, Big Learning. Precision Meets Education

Allowing students to work in small groups to prototype their designs and learn key machining concepts

4 axis MicroCNC milling machine

SKU# CN8285

The 4 axis MicroCNC milling machine allows students to understand how G codes are used to control a CNC operated milling machine. The four stepper motors and DC motor connect to our CNC system controller hardware to allow full control of the miller using the G code file host software. Students can use the hardware and software to see how each G code command affects the machine operation and create complex work pieces from PU blocks or acrylic pieces.
