CNC Milling Machines
LittleMachineShop.com has CNC milling machines for the hobby and prototype market. The LittleMachineShop.com models 3501 and 3503 CNC Milling Machines provide a complete CNC solution. They are not conversions or adaptations; these machines are designed and built by the factory as CNC machines.
Up until now, hobby CNC has required that you make or buy a conversion of a manual milling machine. You had to integrate the mill, ball screws, stepper motors, drivers, power supplies, and breakout boards. Most people don’t even know what those things are, much less how to integrate them into a working CNC machine.
The LittleMachineShop.com CNC milling machines are perfect for the bench top machinist who wants to create parts and not just build a CNC machine. The power supplies and controllers are built into the mill. No extra cabinets, cables, or connectors are required. Add the optional model 3616 computer and you have a complete CAD/CAM/CNC package with fully-licensed software. The CNC milling machines even include a 4th axis driver so you can add a 4th axis rotary table by simply plugging it in. |
3501 Milling Machine CNC
- Complete factory-built CNC milling machine
- 2/3 Horsepower spindle motor drives 2 Morse taper spindle
- Electronics are built in to the machine
- Fourth axis driver included at no extra charge
- Includes fully-licensed copy of Mach 3 software
The LittleMachineShop.com model 3501 CNC Milling Machine is a complete CNC solution. It’s not a conversion or adaptation; this machine is designed and built by the factory as a CNC machine.
The Model 3501 now includes a one-shot lubrication system and an improved mill table that facilitates the use of flood coolant.

The model 3501 CNC milling machine even includes a 4th axis driver so you can add a 4th axis rotary table by simply plugging it in.
With powerful NEMA 23 hybrid stepper motors connected by zero backlash jaw couplings to precision-ground ball screws, the model 3501 can achieve positioning accuracy to 0.0005". Not many hobby-grade machines can make a claim like that. It will machine at up to 20 inches per minute and rapid traverse at up to 80 inches per minute.
A 2/3 horsepower closed loop brushless DC spindle motor and synchronized belt drive takes the spindle from 100 to 7000 RPM under full CNC control. A one-shot oiler with flexible shielded lube distribution tubing takes care of daily lubrication with a single press of a lever.
With a work envelope of 10.2" (X-axis) × 4.3" (Y-axis) × 7.1" (Z-axis) the model 3501 has large capabilities in a small machine. And at 190 pounds, you know it is not a toy. The mill table is 15" × 5.38", giving you plenty of room to mount your work and fixtures.
The coolant catch tray on the table and the pan under the machine make the use of flood coolant practical. A software controlled receptacle on the back of the machine provides CNC control of the optional coolant pump.
And we haven’t forgotten your safety. The model 3501 carries the CE marking, the European counterpart to UL listing. A safety E-stop button right on the front and the interlocked spindle shield shut down the mill instantly.
The LittleMachineShop.com model 3501 CNC Milling Machine is a version of the SIEG KX1. |

The model 3503 CNC milling machine even includes a 4th axis driver so you can add a 4th axis rotary table by simply plugging it in.
With powerful NEMA 34 hybrid stepper motors connected by zero backlash jaw couplings to precision-ground ball screws, the model 3503 can achieve positioning accuracy to 0.0005". Not many hobby-grade machines can make a claim like that. It will machine at up to 20 inches per minute and rapid traverse at up to 80 inches per minute.
The model 3503 offers industrial-grade features such as rigid way covers on the horizontal axis. All of the dovetail ways and ball screws are completely covered. A one-shot oiler with flexible shielded lube distribution tubing takes care of daily lubrication with a single press of a lever.
A 1.3 horsepower closed loop brushless DC spindle motor and synchronized belt drive takes the spindle from 100 to 5000 RPM under full CNC control. That’s enough power for a face mill up to 2.5 inches in diameter.
With a work envelope of 11.2" (X-axis) × 4.7" (Y-axis) × 10.6" (Z-axis) the model 3503 has the capabilities to do real work. And at 443 pounds, you know it is not a toy. The mill table is 21.50" × 6.30", giving you plenty of room to mount your work and fixtures.
The coolant catch tray on the table and the pan under the machine make the use of flood coolant practical. A software controlled receptacle on the back of the machine provides CNC control of the optional coolant pump.

3828 Milling Machine CNC, Tormach PCNC 1100
- Personal CNC milling machine
- Vector technology spindle drive 1100W continuous, 2800W peak
- Table size: 34” x 9.5”
- Travel: 18” x 9.5” x 16.25” (X, Y, Z)
- High performance stepper motors with microstepping drivers
Whether you’re in R&D, education, manufacturing, or simply have a great idea for a product, you need an affordable precision machine to make things happen. The PCNC 1100 Series II offers the serious machining capability, backed by industrial quality, which is so necessary to bring your ideas to life. With unprecedented affordability and value, the open architecture design combines cast iron construction with personal computer technology to address a wide variety of needs. At over 1100 lbs and with a 5000 RPM spindle, the PCNC 1100 is fully capable of cutting iron, steel, titanium, and even chromium alloys like 300 or 400 series stainless.
The machine’s design is focused on the needs of prototyping, R&D, and small shop operations. The open design is better suited to combined manual and automatic operations than an enclosed VMC (vertical machining center), yet when combined with the Tormach machine stand you still have good chip and coolant containment and a clean shop. By limiting rapid motion to less than 100 IPM the machine is not only lower in cost, but also safer to operate. By replacing a conventional ATC (automatic tool changer) with the quick change Tormach Tooling System, the machine is both easier to afford and easier to maintain. Tooling cost is significantly lower, yet the tool change time is still less than 30 seconds. The machine is built to industrial standards and perfectly suited to work cells in a lean manufacturing environment or dedicated secondary operations.
The PCNC 1100 is PC controlled, allowing your CAD and CAM software to coexist with the CNC control program. A single workstation takes your idea from concept to completion. Again, this reduces your machine cost and improves overall turnaround time. The control system uses standard industrial components and interfaces. This approach minimizes the initial cost, reduces maintenance cost, and virtually eliminates any risk of obsolescence. The combined effect gives you a highly reliable product with a low cost of ownership.
Tormach business practices further enhance the value offered. We sell our machines direct or through low overhead distributors. The machines are built to stock, not to order. We sell machines, stands, options, and accessories on an a la carte basis so you buy only what you need. You can use your own PC, or we can provide one. Machines include CNC control software with all functions, including 4th axis support. We do not charge extra for any control software feature or function. The straightforward machine design is supported with extensive technical documentation, telephone support, and warranty service on replacement parts. |
