CNC Masters presents the all new CNC MAX to our line of CNC mills. It is specifically designed for the machinist considering the CNC Baron Mill, but who needs higher spindle speed and longer Y axis travel. The value and compact nature of the CNC Baron Mill are enhanced with the added features of the CNC MAX. The CNC MAX Milling Machine is turn-key, easy to learn, and even easier to operate. Like the CNC Baron, the CNC MAX also has the durable cast iron body. The MAX is designed for more demanding users who are accustomed to machining on classic bridgeport type vertical knee milling machines but cannot afford to take up floor space. The MAX provides larger travels for larger parts without taking up floor space. It provides more advanced features that emphasize cutting precision and the ease of use.
- Full 3 Axis (4th optional) coordinated motion control on bipolar motors.
- [X=21.5″] x [Y=10.5″] of Travel.
- X Y Z ball screw driven for precision and accuracy on production runs.
- CNC Masters custom software is included for USB connection into your PC.
- 2 HP speed up to 4500 RPMs with 2 step pulley and belt combination.
- Head tilts for angled drilling, horizontal milling, slotting and more.
The CNC MAX is the first of its kind to have true ball screw accuracy in all THREE Axes for a table top cnc mill that you can ran full time forty hours a week. It is a work horse of a table top mill to produce your applications for the market.
The MAX CNC Mill is durable and precise with a cast-iron body, sliding dovetail ways, and tapered gibs on the square column for accuracy, repeatability, and alignment. Made for the user who needs it all, it is a versatile bench top mid-size CNC mill offering primary or secondary CNC machining applications.
Add rigid tapping control – no need for tapping heads attachments – to tap your series of holes after just running a multiple hole peck drilling operation.
Add a fourth axis to machine round stock and cylinder type application such as gears, fan blade, and splines.
Add probe control to scan and duplicate parts.
Add a hand held pendant to have control at the palm of your hand to drive the axes to drill a quick hole, machine a slot, or fine tune your zero position to your CNC MAX Mill.
The CNC MAX is a milling machine that has the performance of larger CNC mill models without taking up all that floor space, making it a great investment for large or small manufacturing plants, machine shops, research institutions, colleges, universities, high schools, and engineers that need to make their own parts instead of sub-contracting it to another shop. The CNC MAX Mill is proudly assembled here in the U.S.A., combining both imported and American-made parts to offer our clients the most competitive pricing in the industry while retaining quality. Every CNC mill is hand-tested for quality and performance before it leaves the manufacturing facility located in California, USA.
Is the CNC MAX Mill the best choice for your business? CNC mills are built for streamlined production purposes. They are computer-programmed, automated, and capable of creating large quantities of product in short periods of time and with minimal employee interaction. They can be set to fill a variety of needs with little effort, and they are ideal for a business with mass quantity distribution of precision-cut metals, such as steel or aluminum.
Designed for more demanding users, the MAX CNC Mill provides a number of advanced features that emphasize convenience and cutting precision. NEMA Size 34 Micro-Stepper Motors with 1200 inch/oz. of torque provides excellent rapid travel speeds of up to 100 inches per minute through our custom ramp up/down feature provided with every CNC MAX. Smooth, accurate and precision milling is made possible by a 2HP computer controlled motor that operates at up to 4500 RPM. Our CNC MASTERS MX SOFTWARE included with every machine is compatible Microsoft 10 PC. The MX SOFTWARE controls every aspect of the milling process from design edits to cutting speed. It can also work with FANUC style G-codes from imported CAM generated tool path programs.
CNC Masters knows you have several buying options. Milling equipment can be purchased new, used, or simply leased. Do you know how to choose the right milling machine for you? The best option may depend upon the projected project length and the company’s financial position. Leasing can be a great option for short production needs, but leasing an item is almost always more expensive than purchasing because of the interest and service charges. Ownership and tax breaks typically make buying business equipment more appealing; this is especially true when the property has a long and useful expected life such as our CNC mills. Purchasing a CNC mill in the early stages of a project saves company resources in the long term. It allows for better resource production planning based on market demands – without the worries and hassle of monthly overhead expenses.
Purchasing used CNC mills is also a viable option, but often times used equipment requires early onset maintenance, repairs, and outdated controllers which can offset any expected financial advantages. The benefits of purchasing a new CNC mill include quality assurance and pre-shipping inspection of the CNC Mill, a one-year hardware warranty against manufacturer defects, and direct phone or e-mail technical support for the life of the CNC machine with your company. For these reasons, CNC Masters presents the immediate value of a new CNC Mill.
Customer satisfaction is the number one priority at CNC Masters. Our USA based customer service support members are available to answer any technical or installation questions related to the CNC MAX Mill, its operational software or any of our products by phone or e-mail for as long as your company owns the product. The CNC MAX comes with a one year warranty. In addition to a one year warranty, our company provides comprehensive quality testing on all of our machines. If you have any questions, please contact us by phone or email.

CNC Max and 1440 CNC Lathe
Been a long time user of CNC Masters products, starting off with CNC Masters Retro-fit kit for my desktop milling machine. That upgrade certainly gave me more capability with the small milling work I was doing at the time.
Was really impressed with the quality and service from CNC Masters and decided to purchase their CNC Max and their 1440 CNC Lathe.
Fantastic products and service from CNC Masters, can highly recommend them.
Old time machinist and grandson
I have decades with Bridgeport, Lagun and Southbend—am retired but wanted a smaller CNC mill to keep grandson updated and interested—he is already an accomplished DIYer and our choice of the CNC Max mill was simply spot on—-we had very pleasant talks with CNC Max rep Omar—–he is absolutely a superb communicator and his advice as we moved into purchase fit our need perfectly. In just over 4 months, my grandson and I have used the excellent software and training included with the CNC Max mill—we are not yet experts, but Omars advice and the very clear Tutorials and pre-ordained included software has us meeting our goals of our programming on schedule. The choice of CNC Max has been flawless and, when I learn how to make a decent photo of the two small items we have designed and made so far I will add it to another happy review. So, if you are looking for a mid range CNC mill that is very capable and can do it all, CNC Max mill is my recommendation!
Great people to work with…..
So far I have really enjoyed working with this company. The equipment arrived well packaged and without damage. It appears to be of high quality. I am still setting up my shop and look forward to working with the equipment and the company in the future.

Max CNC Mill Review
I had an excellent experience with purchasing this CNC Max milling machine. I bought it a year ago and whenever I had any issues or concerns the technical support was always there to help me. If you have no experience with CNC machines, this is the perfect one to start off with. It also comes with windows based software which is very helpful. I really recommend this machine to anyone. Thank you, Tomasz.
