The QueenBee CNC was originally designed by the CNC3D engineering team as an upgrade for the SharpCNC and WorkBee CNC to provide a superior performance gain on a variety of materials. Since then it has become one of the most popular CNC machines all over the world.
Where the QueenBee really shines is in it's low-cost to performance ratio and is an excellent tool for every shed or workshop. It features an 8mm leadscrew driven design on all axes and 15mm profile rails all round.
The QueenBee CNC is classified a medium-heavy duty hobby machine and is recommended for serious home hobby CNC operators and light duty commercial applications where a CNC can fill some of the gaps in your business or expand your current product offering.
The QueenBee was designed to make light work of materials such as:
Timbers (All)
Plastics (All)
Foams (If machinable)
Alloys (Aluminium and brass)
Composite panels
Each QueenBee CNC comes fully assembled and ready to plug and play. Every QueenBee is carefully assembled and dialled in by our team for optimal performance right out of the box!
Each QueenBee machine includes:
Nighthawk CNC controller
Easy probing mount Limit switches
Fitted 16mm MDF spoil board
Endmills to get started (with spindle option)
Choosing the 1.5kw Spindle option:
The 1.5kw air-cooled spindle is well matched to the design and performance of the QueenBee. The spindle itself has a 65mm diameter and supports ER11 collets allowing a maximum shank size of up to 1/4" (6.35mm). It features 3 ball bearings and is designed to work for extended periods of time provided that it is run at 16,000 RPM or more.
