We've been studying hobby CNC machines since 2019 and it's time to jump in with both feet. We own nearly 20 different hobby grade CNC machines and have done extensive accessory design work on each one of them. This experience boils down to a truly unique set of skills and knowledge around identifying the best features of a hobby/semi-pro CNC machine.. Basically we know what a good hobby CNC machine looks like and thanks to our regular community polling and interaction, we know what you guys want too... Rigidity, Ball Screws, Closed-Loop Steppers, Masso Controller, etc.
We listened and we're going to deliver in Q2-2025 get ready to pre-order the last CNC machine you'll ever need to buy... PwnCNC's Dominator(tm) CNC Machine!
Having great relationships with our customers and partners are very important to us and the Dominator is truly a team effort. We're working with other companies like BuildBotics, Masso, 8020, MillRight, and others to bring together an American-made machine like no other.
The Dominator can grow and improve with you due to our unique features and simple to install upgrades designed specifically to improve strength and rigidity.
The Dominator's features include:
- Your choice of a BuildBotics or Masso Touch controller both capable of running our ATC System.
- Multiple Stepper Motor Options
- 1.2Nm or 2Nm Open-Loop steppers including Z-brake with BuildBotics
- 2Nm or 3Nm Closed-Loop steppers including Z-brake with Masso
- A completely flat machining bed surface featuring multiple bed-size options
- 4x2" includes a 24x50" cutting bed surface with 2" front overhang (perfect for dovetail clamping, rotary, and more)
- 4x4" includes a 48x50" cutting bed surface also with a 2" front overhang (perfect for tool-setter placement, ATC tools, and more)
- 4x8" is being worked and expected to release later this year
- Lots of bed surface options including MDF, Vacuum, T-Track Plates, and more provided through solid partnerships we've built up over the years.
- A seriously awesome Z-Carriage with a whopping 8 inches of Z capacity means thick slab flattening is easily possible.
- Dual Round Spindle Mount option for securing your PwnCNC ATC motor as well as Square spindle mounting options.
- LED Gantry Light to illuminate the work surface
- Large cable chains capable of channeling your ATC or water-cooled spindle tubes and wires.
- Recessed Proximity switches with dual-Y homing
- Rigidity is king when it comes to our upgrade options which can be added at anytime to improve your machine.
- Gantry Reinforcement gives you even more rigidity where it counts... letting you push harder and carve faster
- Bed Structural Enhancement gives you additional rigid structure right there in the bed of your machine.
- Bed Rigidity Enhancement adds additional lateral rigidity to your entire carving surface.
- Optional Legs kit means you can design your own table or add our rigid leg kit.
- 4th Axis Rotary with a possible 15" diameter x 32" long log carving capability (more info to be released on this later).
Prototypes are being ordered and built now with additional information, pricing, carving videos, and more coming over the next few months prior to opening up for pre-orders in March.
