Next Wave Automation CNC Shark HD 4, 36-1/4''W x 36''L x 24-1/2''H

Was hesitant about the price but glad I spend the extra money on this machine. The pendant is awesome as you don't have to have a computer with the machine. I create my projects on my home computer then save the g-code on a USB drive. Then plug in the USB into the pendant and then run. I would definitely recommend this machine. If I had to do over I would have bought the HD4 extended for bigger projects.

Really changed and upgraded my business.

My 1st CNC router. I bought mine from WoodCrafters about 4 years ago. Since them I have used almost every weekend, more when time allows. I started out making gifts for family Christmas, birthdays, etc..., then moved to making items to sell. I have learned a lot over the course of time with mine and would highly recommend Vertic V-Carve Pro to just anyone just starting out. I have updated to Aspire software from Vectric which allows 3D carvings. All I can say is it is a WONDERFUL machine and software. Make sure you keep all the set screws tight. I spray the lead screws and bearings with Food grade silicon before each use. (It dries and leaves no residue like normal silicon does) I Wipe it down after each use. I cover it when not in use with a tarp. I am about to retire from corporate america after way to many years and wood working/tinkering will be my full time part time job. I have had no trouble with the machine since day one. I have had to replace the router once due to the side load on the bearings but that is expected. I am trying to convince myself to buy the larger model (HD4) so I can make bigger STUFF. It is a lot of fun and I get a lot of joy from the projects I have made and the smiles they generate. Not to mention the extra revenue it creates. Almost like printing money!
