Description
The PERFORMANCE 16 is the machine for shops whose limit is no longer the cutting speed but the size of the sheet. A 48″ × 48″ bed lets you load the full four-foot width of sheet material, cut large panels, tabletops and furniture parts, and keep the spindle busy through a full working day. The welded steel base and 190 IPM rapid feed are built for that kind of sustained use.
Who the PERFORMANCE 16 suits
High output cabinet, furniture and sign shops, and technical programs that need a large bed and a heavy frame. If your jobs use several tools each, see the PERFORMANCE 16ATC. If volume is lower, the DISCOVERY 16 gives the same bed size on a lighter frame. Schools can order this machine as the PERFORMANCE 16 Education Package.

What we see most often
At this size the delivery path matters as much as the specification. A 935 lb machine in a 66″ × 68″ × 43″ crate needs a clear route, a loading dock or lift gate access and floor space to unpack. Walk the route from the truck to the final position before the order is placed, and confirm the floor can carry the load.
