Next Wave Automation says its CNC Shark HD3® is ideal for use in companies that require a CNC router with a small footprint. It has a heavy-duty, commercial grade construction and uses a 2-1/4-hp router or the company's new water-cooled spindle. Next Wave says the CNC Shark can be used for heavy cutting, carving and machining on wood, composite panels, soft metals or plastics. The CNC Shark HD3 is also available with an extended, 50-in. base. Software is included.
