Less Pain more Gain

Manual Tool Change Costs

The Cost of Cutting Corners
Planning jobs around the least amount of tool changes is holding you back from achieving the best results. Why settle for less?
The Cost of Human Error
Dropped tools, wrong cutter, inaccurate Z offsets. Every tool change is another chance for a silly mistake that scraps a part and costs you money.
The Cost You Never Get Back, Time
A manual tool change takes at least 1 minute when you're right there with tool in hand but costs you time and energy. Manual tool changes own your schedule and idle machine time is expensive.

Cut Costs

Whether you operate a CNC for fun or profit your time is valuable. Don't let it go to waste by changing tools manually. Saving time and frustration make this the most valuable upgrade for CNC mills and routers on the market. CNCs are not truly automated without an Automatic Tool Changer.

Empower Your CNC

Gain Time & Increase Production
No upgrade to your CNC will do more for you than an automatic tool changer! Load the stock, hit cycle start, do the next thing on your list. Production increases effortlessly. Your CNC runs autonomously while you get things done. You'll wonder how you ever got anything done without an ATC.
High Value, Precise, Error Free
The RapidChange ATC is an investment 70%-90% less than traditional pneumatic ATC systems. You'll be able to post multiple tool changes in a single g-code file. Each tool is measured when loaded allowing you to set the work Z once and forget it. Zero human error = no stress.
Unlock Advanced Workflows
Rough with one tool and finish with another increasing tool life. Utilize thread milling, chamfering and other specialized machining strategies. The freedom and flexibility you'll gain will increase your creative potential exponentially. You're going to love it!
