Each machine has been thoughtfully designed and rigorously tested in their Columbus, Ohio facility. These CNCs are engineered from the ground up like a large machine, but they will fit comfortably in your shop. Count on Axiom for accuracy, repeatability and speed without the use of any complex software. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Axiom Precision AutoRoute Elite CNC router represents the most advanced technology that is primarily found on machines in industrial shops. They offer the speed, torque, and precision which can only be found in servo-driven machines. Cut at up to 320 IPM while maintaining repeatability of .05mm!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Elite Series CNC routers have a full 8'' Z travel capacity and a quiet yet powerful 3HP electro-spindle with an integrated liquid cooling system. All Elite Series routers utilize 20mm precision ball screws, massive prismatic guides, a robust steel frame, and an interlocking aluminum table. In addition, the integrated MDF spoil boards promise you the all precision you need, since they can easily be milled flat for a true perpendicular surface to the spindle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere is no need to attach your CNC router to your computer to operate it. Simply transfer your file to the controller via a USB storage device. The hand-held RichAuto B58 DSP controller is powerful, easy to use, and 4th-axis ready.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll Axiom machines come with lifetime technical support. Whether it’s a software or technical question, or just a challenging application, Axiom is there to help — regardless of how long you’ve owned your machine.  No invoices, no expiration dates.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFurniture Making: \u003c\/strong\u003eWhether you’re simply cutting out 2D furniture components, producing an accent inlay, or an ornate 3D wood appliqué, the applications for a CNC router within the woodworking trade are nearly countless.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFabrication: \u003c\/strong\u003eNeed to produce a unique component?
