Lead time:
There is a 1 week lead time to shipment on the Mega V and Mega V XL. Some orders are shipping out the next business day, however.

Capabilities:
Mills wood, plastic, foam, carbon fiber, circuit boards, soft metals, and can make occasional light cuts in hard metals.

Working Area:
Approximately 19x19x3.75″ (standard model)
Approximately 35x35x3.75″ (XL model)

Footprint:

The overall footprint depends on whether you put the control box to the left of the machine or on a shelf up underneath. Not counting the control box, the 35×35″ machine is 42″ deep by 48″ wide and the 19×19″ machine is 27″ deep and 33″ wide. The electronics control box is about 12×12″. The router version is 19″ tall.

The weight of the machine depends on different factors, such as whether you have a T plate bed or standard MDF bed. Generally speaking, the 19×19″ router weights about 100 pounds. The 35×35″ router weighs about 175 pounds.

Description

THIS IS OUT OF STOCK AS IT HAS BEEN REPLACED BY THE IMPROVED MEGA V 2

 

The Mega V takes small CNC to industrial level speeds thanks to its powerful motors, rack and pinion drive system, and its Mega V bearing rollers and custom Mega V extrusion. The bearing plates are precision cut from heavy duty 1/4” steel. These components are twice as thick as what many competitors use. The Mega V is our best seller and for good reason! You simply can not find a machine of this performance for the same price anywhere on the market!

We combined these premium features with high performance NEMA 23 motors with more than double the holding torque of some other machines in the class! We marry these motors to large digital stepper motor drivers and a 48VDC power supply that maximizes the performance of the motors.

The super rigid frame and premium drive system combine for unmatched performance. The Mega V rapid traverses at 650 inches per minute (16,510 mm/minute) on the X and Y axes, giving a diagonal traverse rate of almost 920 inches per minute (23,368mm/minute). We have even tested the system to diagonal traverse rates exceeding 1,800 inches per minute! We literally had to slow the Mega V down to keep it from being “too fast”.  Just as importantly, the Mega V has the power to accelerate very quickly. It goes from a full stop to full rapid in a flash. With a maximum cutting rate of 500 inches per minute (12,700 mm/minute), the Mega V can cut more than twice as fast as some other machines can rapid traverse.

Want to see the Mega V in action?

Video shows laser, rotary axis, and T plate bed which are optional features. Also shows plasma cutting that is only possible with the Mega V plasma version.

 

This bundle comes with a 120V, 1.25HP MAKITA RT0701C router, a laser cut and CNC bent custom electronics control box that is pre-wired, billet aluminum router mount, and a carbide end mill.

Please note that we have moved to the Makita router. It has a broader RPM range than the DeWalt, while maintaining the same power.

Shown with optional T Plate bed. An MDF bed is standard.

T Plate bed, homing switches, and 4th axis are options.

Choose between the Standard Model or the Mega V XL.
