Why Choose the Dominator Core?

Unlike many hobby CNC machines, the Dominator Core is built on a rigid, industrial-style mechanical foundation while remaining accessible and expandable. Each machine is built in the USA and includes access to PwnCNC’s published assembly, configuration, and operating documentation.

Email support is available for questions involving the PwnCNC components supplied with the machine. Machine-specific modifications, third-party accessories, software, tooling, workholding, and custom applications remain the customer’s responsibility.

Key Features

• MASSO Touch Controller with Core Firmware — streamlined CNC control with an upgrade path to Advanced firmware for ATC support and additional automation features.

• 2Nm Closed-Loop Stepper Motors — reliable closed-loop motion, including a Z-axis motor with an electric brake.

• Gantry LED — included to illuminate the work area during setup and machining.

• Heavy-Duty Motion Components

  • HG15 linear rails
  • 16mm ballscrews with 20mm pitch on the X and Y axes
  • Rigid Z-axis with approximately 6.5 inches of vertical capacity

• Precision-Engineered Frame — thick aluminum extrusions form the machine frame, with three or four cross extrusions, depending on machine size, to help maintain parallel Y axes and provide mounting points for a customer-supplied bed surface.

• Shielded Stepper Wiring — physically shielded stepper cables are included. Proper grounding and shield termination are required for optimal EMI performance.

• Spindle-Ready — purpose-built for spindle integration. A spindle is not included unless specifically identified as part of the selected configuration or promotion.

Important Notes

• Local Pickup Only: The Dominator Core is not available for carrier shipment because of its assembled size, weight, and risk of shipping damage. Orders must be picked up at PwnCNC in Lowell, Arkansas after the customer receives confirmation that the machine is ready.

• Estimated Production Time: Each Dominator Core is manufactured to order. Typical production time is approximately eight weeks, but this is an estimate and may vary based on machine size, configuration, staffing, order volume, and component availability.

• Table and Bed Required: The machine does not include the pictured table or hybrid bed unless expressly listed in the selected configuration. Customers must provide a suitably rigid and level supporting table.

  For the machine bed, we recommend a 1/2-inch MDF base layer with 3/4-inch MDF spoil slats and T-tracks, or a compatible aluminum T-slot system such as those offered by MillRight.

• Customer Setup: Final placement, leveling, bed installation, spindle or router installation, workholding, tooling, calibration, and validation are the customer’s responsibility unless expressly included in the purchased configuration.
