Description
Some programs outgrow a desktop machine quickly. The DISCOVERY 8 handles sheet-goods work at 24″ × 48″, which suits furniture, cabinetry parts, signs and larger student projects. The education package adds the pieces a teacher needs to start.
Who this package suits
High school technology and shop programs, college and trades programs, and districts that want one capable machine serving many students. For a smaller footprint, the ACADEMY packages are enclosed and desktop sized.

What we see most often
The DISCOVERY 8 requires a dedicated 220–240V single-phase supply in North America. Confirm the required circuit, plug and available voltage with our team before ordering, and plan dust collection around the dust shoe, duct diameter, airflow and the material being cut.
