This week Bantam Tools has unveiled and launched their new desktop CNC milling machine, making the system available for pre-order at an introductory price of $3,599, directly from the companies online store. With shipping expected to take place in approximately 6 to 8 weeks time. Bre Pettis, CEO of Bantam Tools explains more about the inspiration behind the new desktop CNC milling machine.
“One of the main reasons we decided to make the Bantam Tools Desktop CNC Milling Machine is to close the gap between hobby-grade and professional-grade CNC machines,” – “With the new Bantam Tools Desktop CNC Milling Machine, we’re offering product designers, engineers, and educators who prototype the ability to reliably machine aluminum and other materials at an entry level price point. Because this machine is perfectly suited to explore, teach, learn, and prototype, we know it’ll be a welcomed boon to both educators and product designers.”
In addition to its high speed and ease-of-use, the Bantam Tools Desktop CNC Milling Machine has Fusion 360 integration and toolpath templates that allow CAD designers with limited CAM experience to machine parts like a pro using an “Auto-CAM” solution.
