WorkBee CNC Mechanical Kit + Controller + Cable Chain
The Bulk Man 3D WorkBee was originally designed by Ryan Lock of Ooznest UK, and it incorporates many upgrades. It is a super-strong, accurate and easy to assemble CNC machine. The WorkBee CNC design has gone through different changes. WorkBee Version 1 originally had the leadscrews placed in compression. All Bulk Man 3D’s WorkBee kits now sold are Newest Version, with the major differences being the use of Tingle Tension System and longer leadscrews in the X and Y Axis. This helps to solve the problem of Whipping when for long length or faster Speed,which is very popular in CNC machine market. Based on C-Beam, V-Slot, Xtreme Solid V-Wheels and TR8x8(P2) Leadscrews it is reliable. It has been carefully designed and can accurately cut foams, woods, plastics and aluminum to 0.1-0.2 mm accuracy or better. The WorkBee CNC Machine is a 4 axis (3 + 1) machine, this means there are 3 physical axis (X,Y,Z) and a slave axis of Y which is called the A Axis. The WorkBee CNC Machine uses specific lengths of Extrusions and Leadscrews. Advantage: This kit is the latest version comes with a new Tension System to minimise Lead Screw ‘Whip’ !

CNC Controller Options
The xPRO V5(We Recommend) is the most advanced GRBL CNC Controller in the world. Developed by Spark Concepts in USA who have been making GRBL CNC products for many years. It runs off a 32bit processor with over 4x the processing power of most other GRBL controllers. The xPRO V5 is pre-assembled and pre-flashed with the latest GRBL version. We recommend the xPRO V5 as the best controller option available. The stepper drivers are easily suitable for our High Torque Stepper Motors and can even power stronger motors such as Nema34.
