MODELA MDX-50 Benchtop Milling Machine
Automatic 3D milling of parts and prototypes for users of all abilities
The MDX-50 benchtop CNC mill combines precise, automated milling and unmatched ease-of-use. An ideal solution for short-runs and prototypes, the MDX-50 reduces operation time and simplifies production so users of all abilities can mill functional parts with incredible quality on a wide range of materials.
- Mill plastic foam, ABS, POM, modeling wax, plywood, hardwood, etc.
- 5-station Automatic Tool Changer for continuous operation
- Expanded machining area 15.8” (X) x 12” (Y) x 5.3” (Z)
- Bundled with user-friendly CAM software
- Optional rotary axis with self-centering headstock and tailstock workpiece clamps

- The MDX-50 comes standard with SRP-Player CAM software
- Unlimited loading onto student computers with no site license requirements
- V-panel virtual machine controller software interface
- Built in front control panel
- MDX-50 is a self-enclosed CNC SRP machine with built in safety interlocks that protect the operator from all moving parts of the machine
- Built in multi color-coded LED lighting system that indicates the machine status at all times
- Standard built in automatic tool changer with 6 tool capacity
- Built in chip collection drawer with safety interlock
- Automatic Z,0 and tool length sensing system
- Supports G-code and RML command languages
- Optional integrated rotary 4th axis
Thanks to this SRP software, MDX-50 operators don’t need to have the extensive CAM knowledge that’s required to run other brands of CNC machines. Roland SRP Player has an abbreviated 5-step wizard that asks simple questions in plain English. Once the operator answers these questions, the SRP machine begins milling the model without further human intervention.

Precision Milling on a Wide Range of Materials
The following items are just some of the materials that can be milled with the MDX-50 benchtop CNC mill:ABS | Plastic Foam | Plywood |
POM | Modeling Wax | Hardwood |
Nylon | PVC | Acetal |
Mill Fine Details and Smooth Finishes
With an improved drive system, machine rigidity and enhanced drive mechanics, the MDX-50 mills incredibly smooth and accurate prototypes for testing structure, function, and assembly with other parts. A machining area of 15.8”(400mm) (X) x 12”(305mm) (Y) x 5.3”(135mm) (Z) supports production of large single objects or batch production of smaller multiple parts.Free Your Time
The automated features of the MDX-50 enables users to mill with speed and confidence. Combine the 5-station ATC and optional rotary axis unit for the most automated and precise operation:- Auto-sensing function corrects the tool length to ensure milling accuracy for every job
- Optional rotary axis for effortless production of complex surfaces:
- Includes a wide, self-centering headstock and tailstock workpiece clamps
- Auto-rotates materials from 0-to-360 degrees
- Indexes for 2-sided, 4-sided and custom angles
