Stationary Tools: Rockler adds Axiom Precision CNC machines

Rockler Woodworking and Hardware has expanded its selection of CNC machines, adding four new AutoRoute models manufactured by Axiom Precision.

These premium CNC machines are ideal for users looking to upgrade from an entry-level machine or those entering the field who immediately require top-quality precision.

Axiom AutoRoute CNC machines are ideal for a wide array of projects including large signs, image reproduction, luthiery, and parts fabrication. They feature liquid-cooled motors that are designed for quiet operation and a long life of high-level machining, and the universal router mount accepts a wide variety of common woodworking routers.

Variable speed operation up to 24,000 RPM plus a 200 inch-per-minute maximum feed rate place Axiom CNC machines among the most capable in their class.

"Axiom AutoRoute CNC machines are built for remarkable precision," says Steve Krohmer, Vice President of Product Marketing at Rockler. "From intricate carvings to musical instruments, these routing machines produce jaw-dropping results."

Rockler will carry four AutoRoute models (4 Basic, 4 Pro, 6, and 8 Pro) that feature differentworking area capacities (ranging from the 24" x 24" AutoRoute 4 Basic to the 24" x 48" AutoRoute 8 Pro.)

Each Axiom AutoRoute features precision ball screws, rigid steel frames, and interlocking aluminum tables which are compatible with T-track accessories. In addition, integrated MDF spoil boards promise exacting precision, as they can be milled flat for true perpendicularity with the spindle.

The machines require operating software and drivers which are sold separately. An onboard USB port allows users to input their operating programs with a flash drive, which means the CNC doesn't need to be tethered to a computer.

Axiom CNCs are priced starting at $3,999.00.
