The AltMill is the pinnacle of hobby CNCing, bringing industrial-level precision to a price point and ecosystem for both beginners and advanced users. The AltMill MK2 4×4 is your go-to CNC when time, performance and precision are crucial.

Highlights include:

  • Production level cutting speeds (approx. 600 inches/minute)
  • Closed loop motor system on all three axis to auto-correct positioning and auto-stop when necessary (reliable for production style work)
  • Requires little maintenance during project production
  • Advanced, production-style features including Y-axis auto-squaring; limit switches by default; and tram adjustment capabilities
  • Cuts materials ranging from hardwoods to plastics, foams, composites, aluminum – even steel
  • Support for 80mm spindles and routers
  • 49″ x 49″ working area with a max Z-height of 5.5″
  • Footprint of 59″ wide and 62″ deep

The AltMill MK2 4×4 comes with a standard 80mm spindle mount only. It does not come with a spindle, which must be purchased separately.

The current lead time for delivery is 5 to 7 weeks. Please check our Order Status page for an estimated completion date of your order.

    FAQs

    Choosing an AltMill vs a LongMill

    Payment

    Full Payment is required at time of purchase to get your order into the Queue. We ship on a first-come, first-served basis. If you choose local pick-up, you are subjected to the queue order and cannot get your machine quicker.

    Power Requirements

    We recommend allocating two 15A 110V/120V circuits — one for the spindle and dust collection system, the other for the machine and a computer.

    • The AltMill consumes 500W and runs off a 48V 10A power supply
    • The 1.5KW Spindle Kit consumes 1500-1600W at max load

    If you live in a country with 220V/240V power you must use a transformer to convert to 110V/120V.

    • To solely run the machine, you need a rating above 500W
    • To run the machine and spindle, you need a rating of 2000W

    Power Supply Specifications: Input: 100-130 VAC 50/60 Hz, 7-54 Amps, Output: 48 VDC 10 Amps, 480 Watts

    International Shipping

    We do not have distribution centers but we ship internationally from our office via UPS.  Shipping costs vary from $300  to $1900 USD. You are responsible for any taxes, duties and brokerage fees.

    3rd Party Spindles

    I would like to source my own spindle, what should I be aware of?

    • For spindles 2.2KW or above, you will need to install extra 220VAC wiring
    • The AltMill comes with an 80mm spindle mount, we do not have larger diameter mounts at the moment
    • The VFDs that may work with our controller are: Huanyang v1, Huanyang P2A, Yalang YL620, H-100, and GS20, however they are not plug-and-play — read this article for further information

      I’m new to CNC, and the Altmill 4×4 made learning easy. Setup was simple, the build is solid, and the accuracy blew me away. Every carve has been clean consistent and awesome. The community is quick to respond and helpful with beginner questions. This machine along with gsender gave me the confidence to start real projects fast. Highly recommend for anyone wanting a reliable and beginner-friendly CNC.

      Still waiting on the 2.2 kw spindle to complete my set up of the machine. I would love to give you a good review but tough to do so when I can only get part of the machine.
