Presenting the Metal Storm CNC, a very serious Australian made CNC router designed for extreme hobby and commercial applications.
This listing is for an upgraded V2 Metal Storm that features an upgraded industrial control box, larger power supply and high performance drivers.
It features heavy duty 25mm profile rails on all axes, 20mm precision ballscrews on X and Y axes and a 16mm ballscrew on the Z axis.
The frame is constructed from heavy duty 40 series 6063 grade aluminium extrusions with all plates precision machined from 20mm 6061 aluminium billet. It also comes with fully supported legs so it can stand alone without the need for a table to mount the machine!
The Metal Storm comes fitted with a 2.2kw Air-cooled industrial spindle with ER20 collet that is powered by a premium Invertek IP66 2.2kw VFD. Each machine also comes fitted with one of our premium Australian Made Nighthawk controllers.
To keep things simple, the entire machine is plug and play and only requires a single phase 15A socket to run everything!
NOTE: You must have a 15A outlet installed to plug the Metal Storm in!
The Metal Storm has a liberal Z axis clearance of 165mm with the ability to fully work materials ~100mm in thickness.
The Metal storm isn't just for machining alloys, it can make very light work of:
- Timbers (hard or soft)
- Plywoods
- Plastics
- Foams
- Alloys (Aluminium and Brass)
- Carbon fibre, PCB, Fibreglass
Please note: The Metal Storm is not suitable for machining steels or stainless steels.
Due to the large metal frame used on the Metal Storm, We do not recommend using the inductive XYZ probe as it can cause probing issues.
The Metal Storm is not designed to support a Laser, however if you do chose to add one we do not currently have a suitable bracket to mount the laser to the machine so you will need to design and make something to suit.
Key features of the Metal Storm

- Precision ballscrews on all axes
- Heavy duty 25mm precision profile rails on all axes

What's included with the Metal Storm?
- Collet set for the spindle
- Cutters to get you started for timbers, plastics and alloys
- Extra 8mm 1 flute upcut for alloys endmill for surfacing your alloy bed **Alloy bed only**
Should you choose the "No bed" or 16mm alloy bed option?
We can supply a fitted 16mm alloy bed that has holes drilled and tapped every 100mm for easy clamping. If you are planning on doing high precision alloy or plastic work then the alloy bed option is ideal. If you are mostly doing work with timbers or don't need extreme precision on your jobs then choose the "none" option for the bed which will allow you to fit your own bed of your choice. MDF is quite common a good choice for most materials.
**PLEASE NOTE: The Metal storm is a very precise CNC machine and as such once receiving your machine the bed must be surfaced to be truly perpendicular to your cutting tool.
If choosing the alloy bed option we supply an 8mm 1F up cut for aluminium cutter to complete this process.
We do not do this for you beforehand because as soon as a machine of this precision is transported or moved the tram may change slightly.**
