12" x 16" x 4" zenbot cnc router / engraver - mill,
This machine has the same phenomenal accuracy and speed as the popular original, but with 12 x 16 x 4 inches of travel. This rugged machine is an all new design made from HDPE with a proprietary linear motion system developed by Zenbot. The system features ball bearings preloaded on eloctroplated-zinc thick-walled steel rails. The result is a very stiff system with ultra smooth motion and zero slop. The Z axis features 5/8 inch Thomson brand hardened, polished steel rails with super oilite self-lubricating bronze linear bushings. The drive system features 3/8 inch wide kevlar-reinforced urethane timing belts on all 3 axes, resulting in ultra precise motion and blazing fast rapids (1000 inches per minute). The entire machine is bolted together with allen-head machine bolts so every part is replaceable. The grid on the large stationary table makes workpiece alignment a breaze, and the matrix of steel 1/4-20 threaded inserts make it simple to fasten the workpiece to the table. This machine is ideal for making Pcb's (printed circuit boards), plaques, trophies, model airplanes, 3-d puzzles, picture frames, vaccuum molding plugs, lighted lexan signs, business card holders as well as larger woodworking projects. Three-axis simultaneous smooth contouring enables the machine to be used as a subtractive rapid prototyping machine.

What is needed (not included)
* Rotozip, or other spindle option
* A personal computer which meets Mach-3's minimum requirements
* Software. Mach-3 control software can be downloaded free at . The software is easy to use, and the website has many video tutorials which guide you through installation, setup, and use. If you are new to CAD/CAM you will enjoy Mach-3's wizards which guide you step-by-step through numerous operations such as text engraving, cutting a rectangular or circular pocket, or drilling a bolt pattern. Free Demo version is limited to 250 lines of G-code at a time, but will last indefinately. Full version retails for $175.
* Cam software. Free trial of Lazy CAM, is now included with the download of Mach-3. Vectric ( ) has many affordable software packages available that can do anything you might need. Their basic "cut-2d" program sells for $149.
