Description
For technical colleges and advanced high school programs, students should learn on a machine that resembles what they will meet in industry. The PERFORMANCE 8 has a welded steel base, gravity cast aluminum alloy gantry supports and a 15.6″ touchscreen controller, and it has a 190 IPM rapid feed.
Who this package suits
Trades and technology programs preparing students for production work, and colleges that want a machine to last through heavy daily use.
What is included
- PERFORMANCE 8 CNC: 24″ × 48″ work area, 3 HP liquid-cooled spindle, iCNC controller with 15.6″ touchscreen

Options: on-site setup and on-site training are available. A PERFORMANCE ATC configuration is a separate machine model rather than an accessory added to this machine, so ask us if you want a tool changer. Canadian school installations require a fully enclosed, CSA-approved CNC configuration. United States requirements vary by state and local jurisdiction. Enclosures are matched to the exact machine model, stand and enclosure version, so confirm with our team before ordering.

What we see most often
Confirm the electrical supply with our team before the machine arrives, and plan dust collection around the dust shoe, duct diameter, airflow and the material being cut. The liquid-cooling system is self-contained and needs no plumbing.
