Standard Features

12 HP (9 kw) Spindle
A direct driven spindle with a speed range up to 24,000 RPM. The high-frequency spindle is cooled with an electric fan for quieter running and contains ceramic bearings for longer life and for less maintenance.

Volumetric Laser Compensated Axis Alignment
Using the most sophisticated calibration equipment results in being able to offer you the most accurate CNC machine.

QCore SuperControl
Designed by Thermwood to work seamlessly with its CNC machines, the Qcore Super Control system is feature rich to offer the most accurate manufacture of your part.

4 Position Bar Style Automatic Tool Changer
Mounted behind the rear of the CNC router table this 4 piece automatic tool changer saves you both man and calibration time.

Control Nesting
Integrated into the Thermwood control system to nest various parts into sheet stock, it also accepts layered DXF files.
Additional features
Automatic Lubrication
Provides positive pressure, air / oil lubrication to the linear track way bearings and the ball screws. This both prevents contamination to the bearing allowing the machine to work in dusty environments and takes away the need to manually lubricate the machine between shifts.
At the Head Automatic Tool Changer
This option consists of tool holder arms and five tool holders, which mount in an arc around the front of the spindle and hold the tapered tool holders.
Pop Up Pins
These are guides which are mounted to the table perimeter for locating sheets of material.
Personal Pause Button
For both safety and peace of mind the operator can place the CNC machine into automatic pause with this fob which can easily attach to a trouser pocket.
Automatic Tool Length Sensor
Automatically compensating for for the change in tool length, the sensor offers a highly accurate method of adjusting before profiling edges.
2nd Head Spindle
A second head can be added to allow simultaneous machining of two parts.
Vacuum Pump
A unique way of holding parts to the table, the high flow pump vacuums through the work surface to hold the part in place.
7 Position Bar Style Automatic Tool Changer
Mounted behind the rear of the table, this automatic tool changer is quick to react when the program calls for it.
