New Tech for Desktop CNC Milling Machines

From large production capacity milling machines to build it yourself router kits, understanding your needs and what kind of machine will match is all about the production value.

Los Angeles, CA – There are all kinds of CNC milling machines on the market and they can range in price from a mere $1,000 to well over a couple $100k. Deciding which one will be the best choice doesn’t have to be that difficult. On the far ends of the spectrum if you’re a one man operation or just a hobbyist the selection is usually limited to the less expensive model. However if what you do requires highly precision work then you have to look at something more substantial in price.

Most build it yourself milling machine kits are suitable to detailed and precise work. And of course you can’t expect a CNC machine for mere pocket change to be able to handle large production volume. Kits are designed for basically one-off productions and small volume numbers. People that work on engravings or singular piece work as part of their leisure past times are not usually involved in creating intricate PC boards or delicate machine parts. Sometimes they do but for work of this nature the garage shop enthusiast understands they require a unit with more sophisticated design and that it will come at a higher price tag.

For the large volume and/or extreme precision work of bigger businesses the need for accuracy and near perfect repeatability is equally as important as being able to product more than a couple of pieces a day. CNC milling machines that have the capacity for mass production with excellent detail can run into the hundreds of thousands of dollars. Big production companies that churn out large volumes of pieces expect their machines to be rugged enough to run all day and yet still maintain their milling perfection.

But the those companies that fit in between, that need a CNC machine that can perform highly precise workmanship and be strong enough to produce decent numbers of pieces, the selection can be limited. Often times these businesses also lack the kind of space needed to house the larger milling machines or if it’s used for research and development or prototype the unit may have to come out for specific work assignments but then moved back into an open corner or closet for storage. Most CNC milling machines that can handle this kind of work have some of these attributes but not all of them.

Advance Control Tech has developed a Desktop CNC milling machine that combines the high precision of more expensive machines in a compact and lightweight design. Not to be fooled by its smaller size, the DMC-III can perform like the big boys with near perfect repeatability, but it is easily transported and rugged enough to product higher production volumes that most CNC machines of equal size. Priced below $10,000, the DMC-III provides a great alternative for businesses that want top quality milling performance with space saving size in a unit that will last for years to come. With its advanced electronics, the DMC-III will allow businesses to grow without having to constantly upgrade to handle more advance duties.
