KitMill AST200

Filled with unparalleled beauty ,black goldKuroganeThe highest peak of.

Ultimate Cutting Performance
of
Incomparable Beauty in Black.

A high-end model in the "KitMill" series that shines with the highest cutting performance and a beautiful and solid design.
By using cast iron for the entire frame, we have achieved unprecedented mechanical rigidity and damping performance. It exhibits stable cutting ability even on steel materials, and achieves unparalleled cutting efficiency when machining light metals and resins. It also has the largest Z-axis stroke in the series, making it suitable for machining tall parts.

Features

Heavy and highly rigid structure

The entire frame is made of cast iron, which has excellent rigidity and vibration damping properties. It has both a beautiful design that shines with the unique texture of cast iron, and functionality that allows for powerful and stable cutting.

Best cutting performance in the series

In addition to the cast iron frame, the spindle uses a high-output motor, making stable cutting possible even on steel materials. Even when processing light metals and resins, you can experience unprecedented cutting efficiency.

The largest Z-axis stroke in the series

It has the largest Z-axis stroke in the series and is also capable of machining tall parts. It exhibits high cutting ability even for three-dimensional objects and reduces machining time.

Adopts T-slot on work table

Collet chuck spindle included as standard

By adopting a T-slot, existing tools such as clamps and vices can be used as is. A variety of fixing methods can be Select according to the shape of the material and the processing.

A collet chuck type spindle with excellent precision and rigidity is available as an accessory.

A computer with a USB port is required to connect to the included controller (TRA250). For the operating environment, please see here .


CAD software

We do not handle CAD, so please prepare one that suits your purpose separately.
If you are using 2DCAM, please use one that can output DXF files, and if you are using 3DCAM, please use one that can output STL files.


CAM software

This is not included in the kit, so please prepare the appropriate item separately according to your needs.
CAM software comparison (explanatory article)
CAM software list (purchase page)


end mill

It is not included in the kit, so please purchase separately according to your purpose. When purchasing, please make sure that the shank diameter of the end mill that "KitMill" supports is the same as that of the end mill.
For first-time buyers, we recommend the following:
A great value set of 5 carbide square end mills for aluminum and plastic


*If you create an NC program using a text editor, you can run it without CAD/CAM. However, the NC programs for machining parts can be thousands of lines, or even tens of thousands of lines long, so please consider that CAD/CAM is Req'd when manufacturing parts.

Tools needed to assemble the kit


Hex wrench

A two-sided width of 1.5 to 8 mm is required. ( See product page )


+driver

You need No.00 and No.2.


-driver

You will need widths of 2mm and 5mm.


Soldering iron/solder

You will need it during wiring work.


nipper

Used for cutting and sheathing cables during wiring work.


spanner

You will need 7mm and 8mm widths on two sides.


Convenient things to have


scraper

Used to peel off materials fixed with double-sided tape.


double-sided tape

Used for fixing materials. We recommend the type that can be pasted and easily peeled off.
