CNC Milling Machine for large and small CNC projects
The perfect size for each CNC project! The CNC router offers lots of space for the CNC manufacture of individual parts. With the M.500, M.700 and M.1000 you can realize the most exciting tasks from prototyping and architecture to fixtures and vocational training. From mini mill to industrial CNC machine, you can choose the perfect size for your needs. All CNC mills of the STEPCRAFT M-Series are available as diy cnc machine or as ready-to-run system.
Unique: Freestyle MillingTM
Milling, laser engraving or 3D printing — how and where you want! The STEPCRAFT M-Series is the only CNC machine featuring real Freestyle Milling™ worldwide! Simply place the CNC machine wood where it is needed. The powerful vacuum panels will attach the CNC router firmly to the ground. Thanks to the completely removable machine table, you can engrave letterings, patterns and designs into floors, furniture, sheet material or permanently installed workpiece materials. The numerous possible mobile applications make the STEPCRAFT M-Series the most versatile CNC router machine in the world - protected as a utility model by German trademark and patent office.
Innovation on every Level
The STEPCRAFT M-Series offers entirely new possibilities of CNC machining. On two different machine table heights, you can realize almost every CNC router project in your CNC workshop! The 90° T-slot table even allows for the vertical clamping of workpieces! This way, the CNC router excels on all levels in innovative and comfortable clamping methods.

90° T-slot table
- Easy installed instead of a machine table element
- Five T-slots for flexible clamping
- 90° T-slot table optimally suited for vertical securing of workpieces
- Machine Table Element made of aluminum
High-End CNC Technology
Highly precise results require sophisticated CNC technology. Thanks to the innovative extruded profiles and Bosch Rexroth linear guides, the STEPCRAFT M-Series operates with utmost accuracy and reliability. The Flexi Guides™ help you to comfortably guide cables from tools and accessories while the optional Semi Closed Loop System™ offers an additional protection of your workpiece.
High rigidity X-profile
The solid X-profile of the STEPCRAFT M-Series sets new standards in stability and design of CNC router machines. The intelligent construction ensures high force absorption and the even distribution of forces inside the axis whereby an extreme torsion resistance is obtained. Only by use of aluminum it is possible to create such an exceptionally smart and solid profile design that could never be realized from steel. A STEPCRAFT innovation protected by a registered utility model.
Semi Closed Loop System™
The gantry of the X-axis aligns itself automatically after each homing. With the optional Semi Closed Loop System™ you can upgrade your CNC machine to a step monitoring on all CNC axes. If the system detects a deviation from predefined steps, as in case of a collision or false settings, the emergency stop is automatically triggered and. This way your workpiece is protected from potential damage.
Ball Bearing Guide
All axes of the STEPCRAFT M-Series feature a high precision guidance. Due to the Bosch Rexroth ball bearing guide made of hardened steel, the CNC machine operates absolutely reliable and next to wear-free at a simultaneous high load capacity. The linear carriages are additionally protected from dust and debris by a special seal.
Flexi GuidesTM
No cable clutter! Each machine of the STEPCRAFT M-Series comes with three Flexi Guides™. The white plastic holders serve to securely guide cables and tubes of tools and accessories.
The Flexi Guides™ can be easily positioned and fastened in the T-slot of the X-axis.
Powerful Drive
The STEPCRAFT M-Series operates with maximum precision and accuracy and runs low-noise and vibration-free. It is completely up to you whether you wantyour CNC router to work with igus® dryspin threaded lead screw or ball screws. With the stepper motors Nema 23, the CNC machine can powerfully process different materials.
igus® dryspin threaded lead screw
- Based upon wear-resistant igus® high performance polymers
- 5 times longer service life and higher efficiency
- Low-noise and vibration-free
- Driven by powerful stepper motors Nema 23 on both sides of the Y-axis
- Lead screw nuts adjustable to each other
HIWIN® Ball Screws
- Optionally installable instead of standard igus® dryspin threaded lead screws
- Very smooth-running
- Balls roll infinitely between threaded shaft and nut via ball recirculating system
- For maximum precision and accuracy
CNC Tools - Easily more creative
Turn your CNC router from a milling machine to a 3D printer, a laser, a plotter or a tangential knife. This way you can use your STEPCRAFT M-Series for woodworking as well as for processing plastics, aluminum, cardboard, foil or brass. All STEPCRAFT CNC tools can be comfortably clamped in the tool holder of the CNC router. Your creativity will know no limits and you will save money for additional machinery.
Spindle Motor
Create high precision workpieces from sheet material like mdf board, Plexiglas®, wood, aluminum and carbon. Start today and CNC produce your own guitar, fixture or mobile charging station.

Tangential Knife
If you want to cleanly cut letterings and small contours, the OTK is your first choice. The Oscillating Tangential Knife cuts highly precise and automatically turns into the respective cutting direction. This allows you make leather keychains or cardboard buildings.
3D Printer
The 3D Print Head will build up your 3D models layer by layer. You can use the CNC accessory to 3D print spare parts, prototypes and figures from 3D printer filament. The optional Workpiece Fan makes it even possible to 3D print small, pointed geometries.
CNC Laser
When working with the laser, you no longer need to clamp your workpieces. The Laser Engraver operates contactless. Depending on the material you can even use it for small cutting jobs. This way you can use the laser to create engravings, halftoners or puzzles.
Drag Knife
The CNC Drag Knife precisely cuts flock, paper or vinyl. It is perfectly suited for T-shirt print or to make sticker.
