An ideal solution for short-runs and prototypes, the MDX-50 reduces operation time and simplifies production so users of all abilities can mill functional parts with incredible quality on a wide range of materials.

Distinguishing Features

• Advanced drive system supports dimensional stability
• Large machining area plus enhanced machine rigidity and drive mechanics
• Optional rotary axis rotates materials automatically from 0 to 360 degrees continuously or indexes for 2-sided, 4-sided and custom angles
• Simple-to-load tools and automatic machine calibration
• Requires no special electrical set-up and needs no additional air compressor
• Colour-coded LED status lights allow current job status to be monitored from a distance
• Built-in debris collection drawer with rail guided safety door for safe and clean production
• Ideal for use in studio and educational environments

Operator-Friendly Control and Software

Become a 3D milling expert almost immediately with the MDX-50’s simple yet powerful built-in control panel and virtual control panel (VPanel), and bundled SRP Player CAM software that’s easy-to-use and simplifies operation. 

With the control panel at the front of the unit, almost all operations can be completed from the unit itself without having to go back to a PC. The VPanel interface operates seamlessly with the MDX-50 and allows users to make changes to spindle rotation or speed during operation.

The following items are just some of the materials that can be milled with the MDX-50 benchtop CNC mill:

• ABS 
• POM
• Nylon Plastic Foam 
• Modeling Wax 
• PVC Plywood
• Hardwood
• Acetal

Mill Fine Details and Smooth Finishes

With an improved drive system, machine rigidity and enhanced drive mechanics, the MDX-50 mills incredibly smooth and accurate prototypes for testing structure, function, and assembly with other parts. A machining area of 400mm (X) x 305mm (Y) x 135mm (Z) supports production of large single objects or batch production of smaller multiple parts.

Free Your Time

The automated features of the MDX-50 enables users to mill with speed and confidence. Combine the 5-station ATC and optional rotary axis unit for the most automated and precise operation:

• Auto-sensing function corrects the tool length to ensure milling accuracy for every job
• Optional rotary axis for effortless production of complex surfaces:
• Includes a wide, self-centering headstock and tailstock workpiece clamps
• Auto-rotates materials from 0-to-360 degrees
• Indexes for 2-sided, 4-sided and custom angles
