Thermwood Corporation, a global leader and pioneer in CNC router technology, proudly announces the release of its large scale 5 Axis CNC machine – the Thermwood MAX5. Engineered for industries that require size, strength, and precision, the MAX5 redefines what’s possible in large-format 5-axis CNC routing.
Designed to tackle the most demanding three-dimensional machining applications, the MAX5 is ideal for producing large to extremely large components for the aerospace, marine, automotive, and construction industries. From massive molds to complex structural elements, the MAX5 delivers unmatched power, precision, and durability — setting a new benchmark for high-performance CNC systems.
“The MAX5 is the result of applying Thermwood’s decades of engineering expertise to real-world industry feedback requesting bigger machines to handle very large projects with the same high quality our customers know and expect from Thermwood machines,” said Ken Susnjara, Thermwood’s Founder, Chairman, and CEO. “It’s more than just a big machine — it’s a powerful, integrated solution designed to push the boundaries of what’s possible in CNC manufacturing.”
The MAX5 is a heavy-duty, high-clearance, 5-axis CNC router built to perform in the most extreme machining environments. Utilizing advanced 3D modeling and Finite Element Analysis (FEA), the MAX5 is structurally optimized to maintain peak performance even during complex, high-stress, multi-axis operations.
Every element of the MAX5 is engineered, built, and supported by Thermwood in-house — providing customers with unmatched integration, reliability, and support. This single-source approach ensures complete system accountability, easier upgrades, and the confidence that comes from working with a trusted partner.
