Milling Aluminum Sprockets W/ NymoLabs NBX-5040 - CNC Router Machine Review

In this video we're going to take a look at the NBX 5040 cnc router from NymoLabs. This machine was designed to be a more affordable version of their NBS 6040. It uses DM542 drivers with 76mm Nema 23 stepper motors to drive 1605 ball screws between the 20mm linear tubes on the y axis, as well as linear rails and a 1605 ball screw on the x axis, and linear rails with a 1204 ball screw on the z axis. The frame is made of thick, heavy gauge aluminum plate and extrusions, and can be completely assembled in roughly 20 min to form a max work volume of 500x400x95mm.

NymoLabs also developed their own trim router to use as a spindle with this machine which is rated for 710W so it has a lot more power compared to stock spindles provided with other machines that I've reviewed recently, and it has an adjustable speed range of 7000-30000 rpm, as well as an ER11 collet chuck and a soft start feature. They also have an upgrade kit with a 1.5kW liquid cooled spindle that's available to purchase separately.

The controller comes with a touch screen display and sd card slot for working offline, as well as an emergency stop switch and connection ports for an MPG, a 4th axis, and a laser module.
