The new Basic M4.4 and its twin sister the V4.4 are designed by CWI for educational, professional, sign makers, and prototyping users.

The Basic M4.4 is the more economic version of the V4.4 with an aluminum T-slot table for hold down work and jigging. The performance and features of both models include under-the-frame electrical controls cabinet, fourth axis rotary options as well as automatic tool change options. The V4.4 utilizes a T-slot Bakelite vacuum table making it "vacuum ready" for hold down work of sheet goods. All Basic series of CNC routers start with a heavy duty welded steel floor model frame. The black anodized aluminum table of the M4.4 is then mounted to the steel frame for an excellent working surface with plenty of options for the use of hold down jigs. Under the frame are four heavy-duty 5" diameter adjustable feet for solid footing on the shop floor but the machines also come with heavy duty castors for those looking for more mobility of the machine. The heavy duty steel gantry is powered by High torque Nema 34 extra strong stepper motors. Standard is two steppers on "Y" axis, one on "X" axis and one on "Z" axis. The gantry rides on accurate THK linear guide ways and travel by ultra precise rack and pinion movements in X, Y movements. The Z axis is driven by 20mm ultra precise ball screw. To make set up simple we include a moveable tool measure devise for making accurate measurements of tool height when starting your projects. On the Basic M4.4, V4.4 and V4.8 models we use the industry leading commercial quality HSD 3kw (4 HP) router spindle, which comes with 1/8", 1/4", 3/8" and 1/2" high precision ER25 collets. HSD is the leading Italian manufacturer of CNC spindles throughout the world. Users will find the speed, power and precision of the HSD spindle second to none. The 3-phase spindle is converted by a Delta phase inverter to run at 0-18,000 rpm on single-phase 220-volt power. For educational users we now offer Protex Safety Cages in various sizes as options for safety in the work shop. The 6' tall wire mesh cages typically have a 48" swing door with electrical interlock so the machine will stop running its program if the door is opened. The cages can have one, two, three or four walls in many sizes. The machining area is 49.25" x 49.25" with a gantry clearance height of 8". This speedy powerful machine can travel at 985"/minute and weighs in at 1980 lbs and takes up 80" x 68" x 65" of floor space. The simple operation of the machine is functioned with an NC Studio model NK105 G3 hand held controller. Simply download your work program from your computer to a memory stick, slide it into the USB port on the control panel and the hand held controller works everything from there – perfect for ease of operation and keeping your computer out of the dusty world of your workshop. The "guts" of the Basic M4.4 is an elaborate control box mounted under the table of the machine to save on floor space. It’s full of Siemens CSA contactors, fuses and holders, Delta Inverter, motor controls and NC Studio control boxes. We use Omron micro limit switches for controlling stops and movements of the home positioning. The Basic M4.4 is fully CSA certified for use in Canadian and American schools and commercial applications. The Basic M4.4 operates on 220-volt power on a standard 20-amp 220-volt circuit breaker. For dust collection we include a dust boot with a 4” dust port which is connected to an upper 4” inlet to keep the dust collection high above the operations on the machine. The hood itself easily adjusts up and down for various router bit sizes and has a swing away opening to make tool changes a breeze. Design software is not included. CWI recommends the Vectric CNC products. We stock V-Carve Pro and Aspire. Other options for these machines you may want to consider are cutting tools and dust hose. The Basic series of CNC from CWI are available in many sizes and different features from 4x4, 4x8 and 5x10 working areas, vacuum tables and vacuum pumps, lubrication for cutting tools, fourth axis and even with automatic tool changers. Just browse our website for other standard models now available. We can also custom design for special needs. Specifications:
