Next Wave CNC Shark HD600 Standard

Building on the proven success of Shark HD5 models, this Shark HD600 Standard delivers powerful next-level performance in both home workshops and demanding production environments. It is engineered with industrial-grade components including a reinforced aluminum/steel gantry, interlocking 16'' x 36'' aluminum table, linear rails and anti-backlash lead screws. It also works with some of today's best software options. Vectric VCarve Desktop comes standard, along with Next Wave's exclusive Virtual Zero Unlimited. It maps the surface of your material by taking an unlimited number of reference points and uses them to auto-adjust the G-code to conform to the actual surface of your material. This eliminates problems caused by a warped or bowed workpiece and allows you to maintain a constant cutting depth on projects that other machines would not be able to handle.

The HD600 Standard can be pendant or computer-controlled and is perfect for projects such as carving plaques, signs, ornamental boxes, and milling precision parts from wood, soft metals or plastics. This CNC router also offers 3D carving capability with a 3D model library included. You can cut beautiful relief carvings and intricate inlays plus exquisitely detailed engravings.

Proudly made in the USA, the Shark HD600 Standard works with a variety of popular 3.5''-diameter router motors (sold separately) or can be upgraded to one of Next Wave's precision spindle kits (sold separately). Whether you’re just starting your CNC journey or upgrading to a more powerful platform, the Shark HD600 Standard puts precision, durability and flexibility at your fingertips.
