The QueenBee CNC was originally designed by the CNC3D engineering team as an upgrade for the SharpCNC and WorkBee CNC to provide a superior performance gain on a variety of materials. Since then it has become one of the most popular CNC machines all over the world.
Where the QueenBee really shines is in it's low-cost to performance ratio and is an excellent tool for every shed or workshop. It features an 8mm leadscrew driven design on all axes and 15mm profile rails all round.
The QueenBee CNC is classified a medium-heavy duty hobby machine and is recommended for serious home hobby CNC operators and light duty commercial applications where a CNC can fill some of the gaps in your business or expand your current product offering.
The QueenBee was designed to make light work of materials such as:
Timbers (All)
Plastics (All)
Foams (If machinable)
Alloys (Aluminium and brass)
Composite panels
Each QueenBee CNC comes fully assembled and ready to plug and play. Every QueenBee is carefully assembled and dialled in by our team for optimal performance right out of the box!
Each QueenBee machine includes:
Nighthawk CNC controller
Easy probing mount Limit switches
Fitted 16mm MDF spoil board
Endmills to get started (with spindle option)
Choosing the 1.5kw Spindle option:
The 1.5kw air-cooled spindle is well matched to the design and performance of the QueenBee. The spindle itself has a 65mm diameter and supports ER11 collets allowing a maximum shank size of up to 1/4" (6.35mm). It features 3 ball bearings and is designed to work for extended periods of time provided that it is run at 16,000 RPM or more.
We supply a genuine IP66 rated 1.5kw Invertek VFD to drive your spindle. All our VFDs are fully C-tick approved and fully electrically fitted and complied for use in domestic and commercial environments.
Choosing our Quick-access magnetic dust shoe option:
Keeping your machine and workshop clean and tidy is something not to be overlooked.
Made from durable plastic, our quick-access magnetic dust shoes make keeping your machine clean and tidy, setting your zero, changing endmills and observing your job a Snap!
Simply dettach and reattach the magnetic front cover, attach your vacuum hose and away you go.
Please note: The vacuum hose fitting suits standard shopvac/workshop style 32mm hoses. Vacuum cleaner not included.
Choosing a Probe:
We offer 2 types of probes with the QueenBee CNC; A Z axis only probe and an XYZ probe. Using a probe is a great way to find the edges and top of your jobs very accurately and easily. Our CNC3D Commander software has an easy probing wizard that makes probing very easy for both the Z only probe and the XYZ probe.
For those who simply want to set their job zero on the surface on a piece of material the Z probe is a great option. For those who want to find the actual corner of a piece of stock the XYZ probe is the perfect tool for precisely positioning the cutting tool directly over the corner.
Every QueenBee CNC machine comes with a quick connect probe port right on your Z axis.
Should I choose the 15w laser option?
Our 15w laser option is a great way of putting finishing touches on a timber or leather project and can produce beautiful grayscale engravings or branding on your products. Please note: We do not guarantee that our lasers will cut anything but some of our customers have surprized us with just how capable our 15w lasers really are!
