PRO4824 4' x 2' CNC Router Kit

Click to enlarge

The PRO4824 CNC machine kit features a space-saving design for those with a smaller shop that allows it to double as a workbench when not in use (just park the gantry against the wall).

The PRO4824 features Profile Linear Guide Rails, our PRO Rack and Pinion drives on the X and Y axes, and Ballscrew Z Axis, offering higher speeds, greatly improved ease of assembly and machine tuning, and greater stiffness and spindle capacity than our Standard CNC machine kits.

It is designed to easily expand to a larger machine in the future simply by adding more framework, gear rack and linear rail.

What's included

This kit includes all of the parts needed to build the mechanical portion of a 4' x 2' PRO CNC machine:

Aluminum extrusion, cut to length, drilled, counterbored, and tapped for easy assembly
Profile Linear Guide Rails, Bearings, and Dust Covers
PRO X & Y bumper kits
PRO rack and pinion drives and PRO gear rack
Ballscrew Z axis
All required fasteners
Cable Track (E-chain)

In addition, PRO CNC kits are broken down and packed by sub-assembly, helping to make your build straightforward and organized:

Machine Base, 4' x 2' (CRP810-00-4824)
Machine Risers (CRP820-00)
Machine Gantry, 4' (CRP830-00-48)
Z-axis (CRP840-00)

Product Notes

We provide separate options for Z-Axis Travel and Gantry Height. Increasing the gantry height will negatively impact machine stiffness. If you plan to cut mostly sheet goods or harder materials, we do not recommend increasing the gantry height. If you require increased Z-Axis Travel, this can be accomplished without raising the gantry with our 12" Ballscrew Z-axis and standard 8" Gantry Height by recessing your work-piece in the table, or off the front of your machine (select the 12" / 8" option below for this configuration).

We offer an extended gantry width option for dual Z-Axis machine configurations. An extended gantry provides the ability to add a second Z-Axis (now or in the future) and maintain access to the full machine work-area for both tools.

CNC Machine Configuration

So what else do I need for a fully-configured CNC machine?

We're very proud of the versatility that our PRO CNC machines provide, and we offer all the electronics, cutting tools, software, and accessories required for a complete turn-key solution.

We know that with this many options, it can get a little confusing, so here is the list of everything else you need for a fully-configured Avid CNC PRO4824 4' x 2' machine:

Leg Kit (PRO CNC)
Our CNC machine leg assemblies provide a sturdy support system for your CNC machine (optional if you already have a solution to support the machine at working-height)

CNC Control System
Our Plug and Play CNC Control Systems are fully assembled in industrial metal NEMA enclosures, pre-wired, and ready to go!
- Plug and Play NEMA 23 CNC Control System
  An affordable and very capable control system for those who are less concerned with cutting speed, but want an extremely reliable and easy to use machine.
- Plug and Play NEMA 34 CNC Control System
  For production shops, commercial users, or those with very large machines, our NEMA 34 control system offers increased power, greater speed, and higher depth of cut.

Pepperl + Fuchs Proximity Limit Switch Kit
This kit provides a complete solution to automatically home your CNC machine, square your gantry, and provide active safety limits to prevent crashes and protect your machine and workpieces, offering plug and play integration with our CNC Control Systems.

CNC Cutting System
Our Plug and Play CNC Cuttings Systems and also pre-wired in industrial metal NEMA enclosures and ready to provide the cutting power you need!
- 4 HP Plug and Play Spindle / VFD System
  A production-level cutting solution that offers a significant capability upgrade over a standard router by providing a consistent 4 HP of cutting power across a wide RPM range, allowing for faster and deeper cuts.
- 8.7 HP Plug and Play Spindle / VFD System
  Our most powerful cutting solution, maximizing production output through increased material removal rates (MRR).

Router / Spindle mount
We offer tramming mounts for our CNC Cutting Systems as well as a wide range of other spindles and routers.

ER Collet and Nut Sets
- ER20 Collet and Nut Set, Imperial (for our 4 HP Spindle / VFD System)
- ER32 Collet and Nut Set, Imperial (for our 8.7 HP Spindle / VFD System)

Mach4 CNC Control Software
Our version of Mach4 provides a completely custom user interface for extremely easy setup and operation of all Avid CNC machines.

CAM Software
If you need a software solution for programming your CNC machine, we offer a number of great options.
- VCarve PRO (recommended)
- other software options

Auto Z and Corner Finding Touch Plate
This system allows for quick and precise setting of your tool height and work piece corner/edge location (recommended).

Avid CNC Rotary Axis
If you need rotary cutting and indexing capabilities, the Avid CNC Rotary Axis provides a superior solution that is fully integrated with our Plug and Play CNC Control Systems and Mach4 control software.

Tooling
We also offer some of our favorite router bits/end mills and other tooling for many cutting applications!
- CNC Router Bit Set (for wood routing)
- CNC Aluminum Cutting End Mill Set
- other CNC Router bits
