Model 65 Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Thermwood Model 65 CNC router used for?

The Thermwood Model 65 is a large bed five-axis CNC router designed for two and three dimensional machining of large composite parts, three dimensional patterns, and large sheet materials including hardwoods, softwoods, MDF, particleboard, plastics, and aluminum.

What is the difference between the Thermwood Model 65 and Model 63?

The primary difference is that the Model 65 is a five-axis CNC router, while the Model 63 is a three-axis router. Both share a similar large bed moving bridge and stationary table design with table sizes from 5'x10' up to 100 feet, a standard 12 HP HSD spindle, and 24 inch extended Z axis. The Model 65's five-axis capability allows it to machine complex three-dimensional shapes and contoured surfaces that a three-axis machine cannot.

What table sizes are available for the Thermwood Model 65?

The Model 65 is available in 5'x10', 5'x20', and 5'x40' table sizes, with table extensions available up to 100 feet in length, making it one of the largest 5-axis CNC router platforms Thermwood offers.

What spindle does the Thermwood Model 65 use?

The Model 65 comes standard with a 12 HP HSD Spindle running at 3,000 to 24,000 RPM. An 18 HP HSD Spindle is available as an option for more demanding machining applications.

What is the Z-axis clearance on the Thermwood Model 65?

The Thermwood Model 65 features a standard 24 inch vertical extended Z axis, providing ample clearance for machining tall three dimensional parts, patterns, molds, and complex composite components.

What tool changer options are available on the Thermwood Model 65?

The Model 65 offers an optional At-the-Head Automatic Tool Changer and a 10 Position Rotary Tool Changer, along with an optional second head spindle and electric drill for added production flexibility.

What industries use the Thermwood Model 65?

The Model 65 is used across industries requiring large-format five-axis machining including aerospace, composite fabrication, marine and boat building, three dimensional pattern and mold making, military and defense, wind energy, and architectural millwork.
