Title
Discover our user-friendly large format CNC Router kit. It sets you up for quickly creating cabinets, signs, and a myriad of other projects. Our CNC router is constructed from Medium Density Overlay (MDO), a wood renowned for its exceptional resistance to high moisture levels. A space saving angled version is also available. This CNC router has the capability of automated cutting, milling, drilling, 3D carving and pocketing (all subtractive fabrication). Materials that this CNC router can cut or engrave is soft metals (aluminum, brass, mild steel, wood of all types, plastics of all types, foam and other similar materials). The image of the greenBull v2 CNC machine Machine Technical specifications: Maximum Stock Size & Machine Envelope: Our CNC routers are designed to accommodate stock sizes equivalent to their specified dimensions (e.g., 4'x8', 5'x10'). The actual working envelope of the machine is larger, 25 inches wider and 40 inches longer (The extra length can accommodate a laser gantry). For instance, the greenBull v2 4'x8' model easily accepts a 4'x8'. Z-Axis Travel: Features an impressive 7-inch travel on the Z-axis. High-Performance Spindle: Equipped with a 220V 2.2kW spindle and VFD, ensuring powerful and efficient operation. Mechanical Movement: The X-axis benefits from a roller chain and drive sprockets system, while the Y and Z axes operate on a precise 1/2" lead screw, ensuring smooth and accurate movement. Robust Construction: The structure is based around MDO (Medium Density Overlay), complemented by an Aluminum Y carriage and Steel Rails conforming to HIWIN specifications. Advanced Electronics: Includes either a Mach3 USB controller or a standalone CNC controller. All axes are powered by NEMA 34 0.5Nm (1200 oz-in) closed-loop stepper motors with matched drivers. Each driver is equipped with its own power supply for optimal performance. The kit includes all of the wires and cables necessary to connect all of the electronics. A computer is not included. The table and bed structure is also included in the kit. For those seeking a space-efficient solution, our 60-degree model is an ideal choice, boasting a compact overall width of just 63 inches for the 4'x8' model. This design is optimized for placement against a wall, requiring access from only one side, thus maximizing your workspace efficiency. Accuracy and Precision The resolution per axis is adaptable, allowing changes to the driver's microstepping settings. Typically configured to achieve over 1000 steps per inch, balancing mechanical and digital precision. The X and Y axes employ tensioned roller chains, minimizing backlash and enhancing repeatability. Accuracy is largely dependent on machine calibration and squaring. Squaring is streamlined, involving adjustments to the roller chain sprockets and the gantry back hardware. Once squared and relaxed, the hardware is secured to maintain permanent squareness. Calibration is software-assisted and as accurate as the physical measurement system allows. Shipping: Please expect a delivery period of 3 weeks, as each machine kit is tailor-made for individual orders. These are shipped via freight in crates measuring roughly 96"x40"x30" and weighing approximately 600 lbs. Note that the shipping cost, around $500, is not included in the kit's price. You also have the option to arrange your own shipping, if preferred. Some customer examples:

Questions & Answers

Have a Question?

Ask a Question
  • Are there any videos or other sources of information on assembling the greenBull v2?

    The assembly instructions for the greenBull v2 are through an instruction set emailed to the customer that purchased the machine kit.

  • Can I extend my table for a greenBull up to 20'

    Sure you can extend you table to 20 ft. The only issue I see is with the lag you will have with the roller chain. You would need to construct some type of platform for the roller chain. I have clients that have been able to extend there table up to 16' without any issues.

  • buy greenbull in europe

    The greenBull can be purchased internationally from the buildyourcnc.com site. We will ship to any country that is serviced by FedEX, UPS or USPS.

  • can the greenBull Kit CNC machine cut HDPE Seaboard?

    The greenBull can cut HDPE Seaboard, and other materials as well. The machine will be cutting with either a router/spindle(customer preference) and will be the greatest aspect of actual cutting of material, to get a good overall coverage of materials. Our 2.2kW spindle will be the best option for a large variety of materials.

  • Can I run your greenBull CNC off of a generator? If so, what specs would you recommend? Thanks!

    If you want to run a greenBull CNC machine using a generator, The generator will need to allow for a minimum amount of current draw. Here is a list of items that draw current and how much current (the list does not include the laser option): Spindle: 10 amps minimum so plan for more. The power supply for three motors and drivers: 9 amps The computer to run the control software: varies but out redleaf system would be a max of 2 or so. So you are looking at about 21 minimum so you will probably need a 25 amp generator.

  • CAN THE GREENBULL CUT 18MM BIRCH IN ONE PASS?

    If you use the 2.2kW spindle, it can cut at 3/4 inch or 19 mm deep with at least a 1/4" cutting diameter single flute end mill. You will get better results with larger diameter end mills, but that is the worst case scenario. I still recommend doing a finishing pass on the edge to make sure everything is perfect.

  • Can I purchase the wood pieces of the GreenBull 6x without any hardware (all gantry "Y", all "Z", and "X" chain end supports)?

    That option is not a common request for our machines, we will need to contact you further with specifications on that request for the greenBull. Email: customerservice@buildyourcnc.com

  • Building the 5x10 GreenBull, I went to install the ribs on the mid section of the gantry and you say in the video to skip a spot for the motor to sit, but I have 3 sections that are going to blank not just one like you show in the video. Do I skip more than one, am I missing ribs?

    We apologize for the confusion! The current greenBull kit in the video is a 4' x 8' gB CNC machine, so we currently have a shorter Y-axis length, compared to the 5X/6X kits. However with the gB 5X you should skip every other section(or something similar so it is symmetrical), since we added the option for you to increase the number of ribs if you wish, but is not necessary for the CNC machine.

  • Building one of your greenBull 6X Long and 2.2 kilowatt spindle does not fit. Seems lead screw you sent with kit is short 42" looks like it needs to be 5 or 6 inch longer. Is this correct? What is the needed length of lead screw for this unit?

    The leadscrew length for the greenBull long Z-axis is 47 inches. Additional Information:
