Next Wave CNC's Shark HD500 is crafted for professional woodworkers and hobbyists everywhere. It comes partially assembled, and with everything you need to get set up and running: the latest version of Vectric VCarve Desktop design software, a color pendant controller, 2 hold-down clamps, carbide V-bit, Next Wave Ready2Control Software, and Next Wave CNC’s exclusive, patented Virtual Zero Unlimited software.

The Shark HD500 features a 16” x 36” table, an extruded aluminum router mount for 3.5” barrel routers or Next Wave’s water-cooled spindle system, and robust linear gantry rails. The HD500 can be pendant or computer-controlled and perfect for projects such as carving plaques, signs, ornamental boxes, and precision parts machined from wood, soft metals, or plastics.

This CNC router offers 3D carving capability with a 3D model library included. It also offers two control options:

1. Using the included Vectric VCarve Desktop Design Software, you create your project and transfer it to a USB drive which plugs directly into the LCD pendant. The convenient touch screen Pendant interface eliminates the need for a computer controlling the CNC in your shop.
2. For more control interactivity, you can run the Shark HD500 from your computer with the Ready2Control program. This lets you use the exclusive patented Virtual Zero Unlimited program.  This program will adjust your design to fit curves and angles that would be impossible on other brands of machines. (Computer and flash drive not included).

Also compatible with Next Wave's 2-Watt Laser and 7-Watt Laser.
