PCNC 1100 Series 3

Personal CNC 1100 Specifications

PCNC mills are engineered from the ground up to be the best value in CNC in its class. Each PCNC is thoughtfully designed with a combination of quality components and proven technology to create an affordable CNC for doing real work.

The PCNC 1100 Series 3 is the latest generation of our best-selling PCNC mill.  For Series 3 we’ve completely re-engineered the mills motion system with high performance polyphase motors and state-of-the-art microstepping drivers from Leadshine® to provide increased torque, faster speeds, and ultra-quiet performance.  Benefits include

  • Increased maximum motion speeds
  • Significant Improved Torque at Cutting Speeds
  • Lower Noise
  • Improved Accuracy
  • Improved Linearity
  • Reduced Vibration
  • Cooler operating temperatures

Other new features feature for Series 3 include:

  • Redesigned Operator Console:  Based on customer feedback, we’ve reorganized the buttons into functional groupings for better work flow and utility
  • New paint formulation:  All Series 3 mills are painted with a long lasting 2 part Acrylic Alkyd-Amino Resin system that adheres tightly and is resistant to most cutting fluids and oils.
  • Cast Iron Tool Tray:  A popular feature that first appeared on the PCNC 770 is now standard on all Series 3 mills and is a convenient place to set down wrenches, clamps, or other hand tools.
