DESCRIPTION
The CNC MAX, a table top CNC mill that gives you everything you need in a table top mid-size milling machine.
You can hand crank while retaining DRO control with our DRO option and intermingle that hand cranking with driving each axis in CNC mode! Thatās a feature worth having when you just want to make a simple quick movement the X, Y, or Z. With the DRO option, it becomes your choice! You can machine by hand or machine by pressing a button. But sometimes, it is just quicker to zero out a cutter by finessing the hand cranks! You can do that with the MAX by CNC Masters.
With the MAX, you have the ability to machine small to large applications within 21.5ā and 10.5ā along the X and Y. No problem on the height of the part too, the Max machine head can be cranked up to 18ā high. And with the Z axis control at the quill, this table top machine can run full time every week for your production needs without stressing the machine column. It can machine your parts, all day every day! This milling machine does not take a lot of shop space either. At minimum, you need 44ā x 42ā of area to store the machine. With its 2 HP motor, micro stepping abilities, and built in preloaded ball screws you canāt go wrong on machining tougher materials such as steel, stainless, and titanium on this cast iron work of a beast!
The Max is easy to learn and operate. You can use your own Windows PC to communicate to it too. It plugs in by standard USB. Our controller and software are made to work with standard Windows. That means there is no guess work as to how to get this machine going. Thereās no antiquated serial ports or printer ports that our controlling system has been built with. You load in the software, and plug and play.
You can write your own programs conversationally, or in G Code. You can use the built-in wizards to help you formulate a program, or load in your most intricate partās tool path generated on a CADCAM software. We offer VisualCADCAM as on option which comes with a guaranteed post processor to easily generate your files and feed into the Max to machine your part out for you.
Customer satisfaction is the number one priority at CNC Masters. We know how important it is to get your machine working the right way. You will find that our USA based customer service is second to none. We are a phone call or email away for any tech question you may have. We will stay with you by phone as needed in guiding you through to installing your CNC machine, troubleshooting, replacement of parts, repairs. We will even take the time to guide you through how to build a program and describe to you what each button does on the MX software that comes with the purchase of your CNC Max Mill. We understand this is an investment, a tool to grow your shopās ability to meet the demands of your market. Weāve been there. It stinks to invest in a product with a company that does not back it up or sends you to the end of the world for help. With CNC Masters, you will get direct tech support for as long as your company owns the CNC milling machine.
The CNC MAX Mill is proudly built here in the USA combining both imported and American-made parts to offer our clients the most competitive pricing in the industry while retaining quality. Every CNC machine we build is hand tested by us for quality and performance before it leaves our manufacturing facility here in California. We build them, we test them, we crate them, we ship them directly to you!

CNC Max Mill Review
This machine handles like a real industrial CNC machine and manufacturer claims the machine accuracy is +-.003, but I was able to hold +-.001 or better. The Max CNC Mill is a solid machine with steel cutting capabilities. The important part is the repeatability of this machine, which can easily go up to .0005, which is highly impressive. I purchased this machine for prototyping, and ended up using this machine for production. If this machine was equipped with automatic tool changer, I could generate income with it as well. The patented automatic tool changer is in process by CNC Masters and I am looking forward to it’s release. I highly recommend this machine for smaller part sizes, versus spending significantly more for an industrial type of machine. I am also so impressed with the compact size of this machine. The software is amazingly user friendly and just a low maintenance product overall.
CNC Masters provides amazing service and has been a pleasure to work with. All spare parts have been available quickly with great customer service.
Max CNC Mill Review
I am no machinist, but now I’m running parts as I write this. CNC Masters was a great experience. First when I purchased the machine, then with support when I made some mistakes which is the most important part. Machine was pretty easy to learn and operate even for someone like me who was not familiar with machining. Helpful, good folks, and a good product. Of course, there is lots more to learn, but I’m looking forward to it now and not so afraid.
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.
