The Commander 3 Door Machine is one of our oldest and most popular platforms for door machining, and the latest generation features a ground-up redesign that incorporates CNC movements on six axes and a Beckhoff touchscreen to automate setup for up to 12 different door specifications. Custom specifications can also be entered for special doors.

The Commander 3 now includes our new KvalCAM software as a standard feature.

The Commander 3 has dual spindle routers with counter rotation for clean entry and exit at hinge corners, eliminating traditional chip-outs. It has a programmable point to point drill for screw pilot holes, and corner square chisels for door and jamb. Full X Y and Z axis programming is combined with precision ball screws and servo motors.
