Router & Spindle Compatibility – Includes extruded aluminum router mount (for 3.5” barrel routers) or also compatible with all Next Wave’s spindle systems.
Advanced Features for Limitless Creativity
🔹 Computer-Controlled Ready2Control Software – Ideal for carving plaques, signs, ornamental boxes, and precision parts from wood, soft metals, and plastics.
🔹 Upgrade to a Convenient Pendant – Use the standard 5” color LCD pendant or upgrade to the new 10.1” Android tablet pendant for enhanced control.
🔹 Patented Virtual Zero Unlimited® Technology – Exclusive to Next Wave, this feature automatically adjusts your design to fit curved and uneven surfaces—something other machines simply can’t do!
