<strong>Little</strong><strong>Machine</strong><strong>Shop</strong>.com has just introduced two <strong>CNC</strong> milling machines for the<br />
hobby and prototype market. The <strong>Little</strong><strong>Machine</strong><strong>Shop</strong>.com models 3501 and 3503<br />
<strong>CNC</strong> <strong>Milling</strong> <strong><strong>Machine</strong>s</strong> provide a complete <strong>CNC</strong> solution. They are not<br />
conversions or adaptations; these machines are designed and built by the factory<br />
as <strong>CNC</strong> machines.<br />
Up until now, hobby <strong>CNC</strong> has required that you make or buy a conversion of a<br />
manual milling machine. You had to integrate the mill, ball screws, stepper<br />
motors, drivers, power supplies, and breakout boards. Most people don’t even<br />
know what those things are, much less how to integrate them into a working <strong>CNC</strong><br />
machine.<br />
The <strong>Little</strong><strong>Machine</strong><strong>Shop</strong>.com <strong>CNC</strong> milling machines are perfect for the bench top<br />
machinist who wants to create parts and not just build a <strong>CNC</strong> machine. The
power supplies and controllers are built into the mill. No extra cabinets, cables, or<br />
connectors are required. Add the optional model 3616 computer and you have a<br />
complete CAD/CAM/<strong>CNC</strong> package with fully-licensed software. The <strong>CNC</strong> milling<br />
machines even include a 4th axis driver so you can add a 4th axis rotary table by<br />
simply plugging it in.<br />
With a work envelope of 10.2" (X-axis) × 4.3" (Y-axis) × 7.1" (Z-axis) the model<br />
3501 has large capabilities in a small machine. And at 190 pounds, you know it<br />
is not a toy. The mill table is 15" × 5.38", giving you plenty of room to mount<br />
your work and fixtures. A 2/3 horsepower closed loop brushless DC spindle<br />
motor and synchronized belt drive takes the spindle from 100 to 7000 RPM<br />
under full <strong>CNC</strong> control.<br />
The model 3503 has a work envelope of 11.2" (X-axis) × 4.7" (Y-axis) × 10.6" (Zaxis),<br />
and weighs 443 pounds. The mill table is 21.50" × 6.30". A 1.3 horsepower<br />
closed loop brushless DC spindle motor and synchronized belt drive takes the<br />
spindle from 100 to 5000 RPM under full <strong>CNC</strong> control. That’s enough power for a<br />
face mill up to 2.5 inches in diameter.<br />
The model 3501 and 3503 <strong>CNC</strong> milling machines are available for immediate<br />
delivery.<br />
