The DMC-111 Desktop is a unique piece of equipment used for CNC machining. It is lightweight, low-cost, and compact while also rigid enough for precision cutting for all metals. This is the ideal tool for CNC machining and its low cost makes it an even more inviting piece of equipment. The founder of ACT Machines has a degree in digital control technology and thirty years of experience working in the motion control industry. This company develops the advanced CNC controller using the latest microprocess chips for the desktop CNC machines making them the best in performance and reliability of all in the market place. Their high torque and variable speed brushless motors are used for the spindle driver to bring you a CNC machine that is highly efficient.

This is a great tool for CNC machining since it is conveniently lightweight. Its total weight is only 260 lb, making it possible for two people to move it by using the four handles provided rather than with a forklift. The machine is completely self-contained with the power and control boxes built-in within the machine. It has only one power cord plug to an electrical outlet and one communication cord that goes to the PC printer port. Both come with the machine. It works with a regular 110 volt outlet but you can get your machine preset for 220 volts if you specify your power source when you order. At 24" x 28" x 30" high, the CNC machine still has a larger working area of the T slot table than other similar machines.

The PC software is another reason this is a great tool for CNC machining. This software is provided and pre-installed in the PC and it comes included with the machine. This makes it a turn key system and all you have to do is plug in the power and communication port with the PC. The PC is provided since it is fully tested to work with the machine in real time. It is recommended that the PC is used only for the machine and not to access the internet to ensure optimum performance. The software is based on the Mach III platform to ensure stability of the program. It has been widely used in the CNC community but is not well organized and not suitable for the beginner of CNC machining. However, Act Machines has modified and reorganized to so that it can be easily used and also has an enhanced display.

There is no comparison between CNC machining with this machine and with others that are in the less than $10,000 market. Most of the others available are retrofitted from a manual milling machine causing them to be very bulky and heavy as well as providing on only the basic CNC functions. The DMC-III is the new generation of CNC machine and it uses state-of-the-art digital control technologies along with integrated electric and mechanical design. Its performance makes it comparable to much more expensive machines.
