The Big CNC is a custom CNC router designed and built by Danny Miller. It has a maximum cutting area of 5' by 8'

Max Z height is approx 7.5" from nut to spoilboard, but this does vary as spoilboard is added or removed. Note that the max usable stock height will typically need room for your bit to go on top of it
