Maverick 4×4

If you have limited space but require all of the features and benefits of the Maverick 4x8, then the Maverick 4x4 may be the perfect system for you.  Not only can it allow you to automate and master virtually all woodworking disciplines, you can also set it up with a 6 hp Auto Tool Change spindle along with all of the options available on its bigger brother, the Maverick 4x8.  While most of our customers purchase the complete system with all three workstations, you can customize the system to include only the options and accessories that you need.

Introducing the Maverick E-series CNC System

Woodworkers often tell us that they are impressed by the many capabilities of our Maverick CNC systems.  They love our company, our website, our training and support, and the fact that our products are made in the USA.

They really want to invest in a Legacy CNC system, but they just don’t have the need for the turning center or joining systems.  Their current situation only calls for a flat table system.

Of course, we build them what they want.  Later some woodworkers have found that their needs have changed, evolved, and have asked us to upgrade their machines with one or more of our workstations.

Of course, we say yes again, but upgrades in the field are expensive.  Expensive until now.

The Maverick E-series was developed for this situation.  Our E-series, E for evolution, is plug and play ready for all our powerful workstations

All of the electronic controls and cables are pre-wired and ready for you to add at any time.

More good news!  Legacy’s powerful workstations have the same price whether you buy them with your original purchase or add them at some future point.

So, if you would like to start with a basic CNC system and add more workstations as your needs and skills evolve then the Maverick E-series was designed for you.

Maverick 4x4 Base System

Maverick 4x4

3-Axis CNC Table

The Maverick 4×4 includes the standard 3-Axis workstation found on all woodworking CNC machines with a work area of 50″ x 50″.  With a fully welded frame and feed rates up to 1,800 ipm, the Maverick 4×4 is designed for speed.  In addition, it has a feature not found on other woodworking CNC machines… an open bay that greatly increases the machining capacity.

Open Bay

The Maverick 4×4 frame has an open bay that allows you to machine large components that will not fit on a standard 3-Axis table found on other CNC machines greatly expanding the capacity of the CNC.

6 hp Manual Tool Change Spindle (MTC)

This spindle has more than enough power to maximize your cutting speeds (feed rate).  It is air cooled eliminating the need for a coolant tank and pump.  It is also the simplest way to power the CNC with no air hook up or additional power.  You simply plug it in, and you are ready to operate the system. It uses ER32 collets to secure cutting tools with shaft diameters up to 3/4″.  Combined with Legacy’s Smart Tool, all toolpaths with up to 12 cutting tools are combined into one program – the same as an Auto Tool Change system.

Smart Tool

Legacy’s Smart Tool system is more than a zeroing plate.  It allows you to program files that work similar to an Auto Tool Change system.  All of the toolpaths are saved to a single file and each cutting tool is set to the Z Zero plane as run the program.  

When combined with the Auto Tool Change spindle, the Smart Topol can be used in one of two methods.  The first is to simply enable the Smart Tool system when you run a program to touch off each bit as soon as it is picked up, setting the Z Zero plane on the fly.  The second is to set up a tool length library and the Z Zero plane will be set by the software as you pick up the tool.  One method is for simplicity when machining custom parts, while the second method is best for production.

Legacy CNC Controller

Legacy’s CNC controller was designed specifically for Legacy’s woodworking CNC systems with features not found on any other CNC.  It is three CNC controllers, controlled by a single interface.  Each of the three workstations – Horizontal, Vertical, and Turning are controlled independantly   

Maverick 4x4 Options

6 hp Auto Tool Change Spindle (ATC)

The best option for increasing production speeds and automating the process.  The Maverick 4X8 Auto Tool Change systems include the 6hp air cooled auto tool change spindle, 7 automated tool positions, and a set of ER32 collets. The Maverick 4X8 with Auto Tool Change will automatically change tools from the 7 tool clips plus will run programs with up to 12 cutting tools.  When the program calls for a cutting tool that is not in one of the 7 automatic tool change positions, the program will move to the manual tool change position and prompt you to insert the requested tool, touch off the Smart Tool pad to set the Z Zero plane and then continue the program.  This system also allows you to use the most efficient method by setting up a tool length library to automatically adjust the Z-Axis as the cutting tool is used.

Sheet Processing System

Legacy’s sheet processing system is the optimal method for cabinet making and any type of sheet processing.  It includes four independent regenerative blowers that are built into the frame of the CNC, vacuum and spoil boards, and an automated pin locating system.   The Sheet Processing System does not lock you into sheet processing only.  The 4X4 tables are divided into 2 2X4 zones allowing you to quickly change from a sheet processing table to a T-Slot clamping table on one of more sections.  You can quickly change from processing 4×4 sheets to a part processing system with the optional turning workstation, vertical workstation, and T-Slot table all available at the same time.

Turning-Workstation-Image

Turning Workstation

Legacy’s Turning Workstation is more versatile than any other CNC turning system in its class.   You can turn, carve, and machine parts mounted between centers.  When combined with Legacy’s CCAM Pro software, you can quickly convert a basic 2D drawing into a turning program without modeling or sophisticated programming processes.  Quickly add turned or indexed details.  Legacy’s CNC controller allows you to turn non-symmetrical parts i.e. a Queen Ann leg or elliptical spindle.  Legacy’s exclusive adjustable turning bed and Conversational CAM software allows you to program tapered square or round turnings up to 30 times faster than the standard 4-Axis CNC.  

Vertical-Workstation-Image

Y-Axis Vertical Workstation

The Vertical Workstations allow you to machine on the ends and edges of your parts.  The Y-Axis Vertical Workstation allows you to set the vertical table on angles between 0 and 90 degrees.  This feature allows you to machine precision joinery including mortises, tenons, finger joints, dovetail joints, castle joints, and much more.  By setting both the table and fence on an angle you can machine compound angle joinery.

X-Axis Vertical Workstation

This system mounts inside of the open bay allowing you to machine on the edges of long components.
