Asmbly recently acquired a Laguna Swift Vacuum CNC router. It uses the same software and workflow as the Laguna iQ CNC, but with a 5'x10' vacuum table work surface.
Cutting fluids are not permitted to be used on the woodshop CNC machines including the Laguna Swift and Laguna IQ CNCs.
Cutting of soft metals, such as aluminum and brass, is permitted on the Laguna Swift and Laguna IQ CNCs. Please be sure to clean the machine thoroughly to ensure all chips are cleared from the gantry and ways.
Hard metals like steel and cast iron are not permitted to be cut on the woodshop CNCs.
Members must complete the Intro to CNC Routers Class before using this tool
The Laguna Swift CNC has a 3hp continuous-duty liquid-cooled spindle and a 5' x 10' vacuum hold-down worktable.
