At Bantam Tools, we’re always working to lower the barrier of entry to CNC machining! For the past sevens years, we’ve made the world-class Desktop PCB Milling Machine for electrical engineers that’s been used in submarines, home workshops, and makerspaces across the globe. But we knew we didn’t want to stop there, and we’ve been working tirelessly to bring you the next generation of CNC machining!

Machining aluminum parts is fast and easy with the Bantam Tools Desktop CNC Milling Machine!

We’re proud to announce the launch of our new CNC machine: the Bantam Tools Desktop CNC Milling Machine. This high-performance, precise desktop CNC machine is optimized for machining aluminum parts quickly and easily! With features like a 28,000 RPM spindle, 1/4" tooling, and a 7” × 9” × 3.5” build volume, this machine is built for high-speed machining.

Every Desktop CNC Milling Machine ships with a T-slot bed, two toe clamps, and a right-angle bracket to make setup work fast and reliable. Combined with our new and easy-to-use Bantam Tools Milling Machine Software, you’ll be able to start milling in minutes. You’ll have features like automated material probing routines, SVG support, Fusion 360 templates, and more at your disposal.

With this new CNC machine, you’ll have more prototyping power than ever before and it will allow you to bring production in-house — saving your team time and money. Product designers like Ian Schon, as well as Che-Wei Wang and Taylor Levy, have already been putting the machine to the test in their studios, and they have a lot to say.

“The Desktop CNC Milling Machine is all about material removal in my arsenal. I was shocked at how much it could do in a short amount of time, and the Bantam Tools software enables you to do things faster than before.”

— Ian Schon, Schon DSGN

But the Desktop CNC Milling Machine isn’t just for professionals. We designed it with educators in mind as well. The machine comes fully enclosed, is easy to maintain, and ready to use right out of the box. The Desktop CNC Milling Machine is an ideal companion for our PCB mill and will help your students master the fundamentals of CNC machining!

We’re now taking orders for the Bantam Tools Desktop CNC Milling Machine and plan to begin shipping in August. Head over to the machine’s landing page to learn more and be sure to reach out if you have further questions!
