It's almost here! The 3020 Pro MAX V2 is officially launching. Slated to replace the original, which has been out for some time, this refresh will add a host of improvements to elevate the original to new levels!

Upgraded Control Board & Offline Controller

The new control board may look familiar, and for good reason! We've adapted our most advanced 30 series control board for the 3020 Pro MAX V2. With the addition of a port for an MPG hand wheel, an air assist port, and firmware supporting an upgraded offline controller (included with purchase), along with a sturdier USB-B connector, this control board leaves nothing to be desired!

X-Axis Cable Chain

Who doesn't like a good cable chain? This X-axis cable chain combines form and function in wire management, keeping all at-risk mobile wiring neat and tidy while protecting it from external damage.

Mounted & Enclosed Power Supply

While the V1 version of the 3020 Pro MAX was robust and capable, it had its flaws. One common complaint was the lack of a mounting option for the power supply, which was loose in the V1 version. Customers also desired protection for the power supply from dust and metal fragments while using the CNC.

We addressed both concerns with the V2 by providing a stylish enclosure and mounting the power supply to the rear of the X-axis. This comes pre-installed and ready to go, reducing assembly time and providing a cleaner look thanks to improved wire management.

Improved Safety Through a Full Set of Limit Switches

While the 3020 Pro MAX V1 has limit switches, it only includes three—one for each axis. This allows customers to home their CNC but does not support the primary purpose of limit switches: preventing collisions. Without limit switches on the front and back of each axis, the "Hard limits" feature cannot be enabled.

This feature, enabled by default on the V2, causes the CNC to immediately stop and lock up whenever a limit switch is triggered, preventing accidental collisions with the ends of each axis. Without limit switches, there is a risk of damaging the CNC or injuring yourself in the worst-case scenario, making this feature a welcome addition!

Modular Spindle Holder System

First introduced with the 4040 Pro CNC earlier this year, this system allows for quick installation and swapping of different spindle holders for various uses. Out of the box, you will have a spindle holder for a 300W spindle, which is included with the CNC. We also offer other spindle holders for laser modules, DeWalt routers, and even Makita routers.

Get creative and streamline your workflow, or upgrade to a more powerful router— the possibilities are endless with the modular spindle holder system!
