The Basic M4.8 is the same machine as the Basic M4.4 but with a larger working area. This machine offers the same power HSD spindle but in a 48.5” x 96.5” working area. Like all CWI CNC’s the Basic M4.8 will offer better performance, quality, motors, components and features than any competitive machine in its class.
Product Details
The Basic M4.8 is perfect for advanced hobby or professional uses like sign makers and proto typing as well as educational users looking for more capacity and performance from their CNC.
The Basic series of CNC routers all start with a very heavy duty welded steel floor model frame. The black anodized aluminum table 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 six heavy duty 5” diameter adjustable feet to make sure of a solid footing on the shop floor.

The adjustable gantry is a full 1” thick machined aluminum frame (including the support arms as well as the cross members) which rides on very accurate THK linear guide ways. The gantry moves on 5/8” diameter precision ball screws in both “X” and “Y” movements by very good quality stepper motors.
On the Basic M4.8 we use the industry leading commercial quality HSD 3kw (4 HP) three phase electrical spindle which comes with 1/8”, 1/4”, 3/8” and 1/2” high precision ER25 collets. The three phase motor is then converted by a Delta phase inverter to run at 0-18,000 rpm on single phase 220 volt power. 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 HSD spindle motor offers 8” of “Z” travel while also utilizing a heavy duty 5/8” ball screw and stepper motor.

For educational users we now offer Protex Safety Cages in various sizes as options for safety in the work shop. The 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 just over 48” x 96” with a gantry clearance height of 8”. This speedy powerful machine can travel at 234“/minute and cut at up to 195“/minute.
To make set up simple we include a tool measure devise for making accurate measurements of tool height when starting your projects.

To operate the machine we use a NC Studio model NK105 hand held controller. Simply download your work program to a memory stick from your computer, slide it into the USB port on the control panel and the hand held controller works everything from there. A very nice feature for not only ease of operation but it keeps your computer out of the dusty world of your work shop.
The “guts” of the Basic M4.8 is an elaborate control box full of Schneider 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 M4.8 is fully CSA certified for use in Canadian and American schools and commercial applications
The Basic M4.8 operates on 220 volt single phase power on a standard 20 amp 220 volt circuit breaker. For dust collection we include a dust boot with a 2.5” dust port to connect to standard dust hose. The Basic M4.8 ships to our customers in a wooden crate measuring 72” x 120” x 70” and weighs in at 2000 pounds.
Operating software is not included with the machine but is sold separately. Canadian Woodworker stocks and recommends the Vectric CNC products. We stock V-Carve Pro and Aspire. Other options you may want to consider are cutting tools and dust hose. We can also offer the Basic series of CNC in the V, Q, and R versions with a number of other options. Please have a look at the accessories we offer.
The Basic M4.8 will offer better performance, world class components, quality, and features than any competitive machine in its class.
