Next Wave CNC Shark HD544

The creative potential with the Shark HD544 is endless. Professional fabricators, universities, and tradesmen are using this diverse woodworking tool to make custom parts, joinery, precision drilling functions, and decorative components.

The Shark HD544 offers true 4ft x 4ft machining capacity in an open base platform.  The XYZ travel of 50” x 50” x 7” is built with heavy duty industrial components supporting rapid movement up to 400" per minute. This machine is fully compatible with all Next Wave CNC accessories.

Easy to assemble, it is recommended you mount the Shark HD544 to, at minimum, a 64" x 64" table. The Shark HD544 includes a 3hp water-cooled spindle, 10.1” color pendant controller, and features a closed loop system for higher accuracy, robust ultra-precision leadscrews on all axes, and patented Virtual Zero Unlimited software.

This CNC offers two control options:

1. Design your project using VCarve Pro software (available separately). Once the design is ready, transfer it to a USB drive. Plug the USB drive directly into the LCD pendant. This pendant features a convenient touch screen interface that eliminates the need for a computer to control the CNC in your shop.
2. For more control interactivity, you can run the Shark HD544 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).
