Vertical 8x4 CNC Router

Hi all, I’m selling my 8x4 vertical CNC router, which I designed and built with guidance from Jonathan and Jazz CNC.

The machine was completed in 2015 and used for around two years in my CNC woodworking business. It performed reliably during that time and ultimately funded my move to an industrial CNC in 2017. Since upgrading, this machine has been unused and partially disassembled for storage (gantry removed, control box and PC disconnected).

When it was decommissioned in 2017, the router was in full working order. However, as it hasn’t been powered up since, I’m selling it as seen and cannot guarantee current working condition. I’m also unsure whether the original Mach3 PC is still available. The buyer should be comfortable with CNC setup and commissioning, as it will require reassembly and configuration.

This would suit someone looking for a solid DIY machine with good bones, or a project to recommission and put back into service.

Specs:

8x4 working bed

Near-vertical configuration

Overall size: approx. 3000mm (L) x 800mm (D, excluding gantry) x 1900mm (H)

2.2kW water-cooled spindle

Rack and pinion drive on X axis (dual drive)

Ballscrews on Y and Z

4 stepper motors (2 on X)

Custom-built control box (approx. 75V) with PMDX control board

Mach3 control with variable spindle speed

Vacuum bed with 2 x 4ft x 4ft zones

Vacuum pump included

Assorted collets

I’ve held onto this machine longer than I should have for sentimental reasons, but it’s time for it to go to someone who will get it set up again and make use of it.

Open to offers and happy to answer questions or provide more details/photos.
