PwnCNC Conversion Kit featuring the Masso Touch Controller
Pickup available at Headquarters
Usually ready in 2-4 days
Important announcement from Masso: https://pwncnc.com/pages/masso-subscription
Our conversion kit will breathe new life into your old (or new) CNC machine with a modular and incredibly capable Masso controller.
What's required?
- A CNC machine, almost any will do; Look on Facebook marketplace or elsewhere to find a used CNC machine on the market looking for a new home.
- Nema 23 Motor Mounts; Our conversion kit uses the NEMA23 sized stepper motors. Most hobby CNC machines will have this size steppers.
- Homing sensor mounts: Some machines are plug-n-play with our homing switch wires, but some will require you to mount the included switches. Not to worry, we've got your back. Reach out and we'll help get them mounted in the right places. Most commonly by providing a 3d design for you to print and mount onto your machine.
- Understanding that completely replacing the electronics on a CNC machine is a big project. We've worked very hard to make this as simple as possible but there are many places where you'll have to do extra work to be successful. One area is with calibrating the steppers which can be done using this simple procedure.
Your Masso Conversion Kit includes:
- PwnCNC Branded Masso G3 Touch with preinstalled 6x Relay Module
- Inlets Panel prewired and pre-configured for accessories like our XYZ Probe, Tool Setter, Spindle, Rotary, and even ATC
- (3) PwnCNC Closed-Loop Stepper Motors. (1) for X and (2) Y's
- (1) PwnCNC Closed-Loop Stepper Motor with electric brake for the Z
- PwnCNC Power Box containing a 36v power supply
- (4) Proximity switches for homing your machine
- Double Shielded Cables to reduce/eliminate EMI and make it as plug-and-play as possible.
Note that this will void your CNC machine's warranty, if applicable, as it will require removing all of the electrical components the OEM installed and replacing it with our Conversion Kit.

Customer Reviews
This kit has made a cnc router with very poor electronics and a fantastic mechanical side a production machine.
There is a small issue with one of the cable lengths but a workaround has been provided. It’s still worthwhile getting this kit to make a good machine great.
The conversion kit is an impressive upgrade for any CNC machine. I have a Shapeoko 5 Pro 4' x 4' machine.
Replacing the controller and electronics was very straightforward. It's worth noting that there are no instructions included in the kit - it's intended to convert any CNC with Nema23 motors to a PwnCNC powered machine. Despite the lack of machine specific instructions, it was clear from all of the connections how to wire the machine to the new controller and power supply. Support quickly got my few questions answered and I was up and running again quickly (I think the conversion took about 6 hours).
The lack of instructions is not a downside - there are so many options for how a CNC machine can be configured that creating documentation would be a daunting task. As I mentioned before, support answered my questions quickly and solved my problems on the first go around. Any machine specific issues are going to be easy to deal with.
The Masso controller is leaps and bounds ahead of what I previously had. Although there's a bit of a learning curve, the community and support are there to help out. With just a change to the post-processor, I'm seeing a huge quality improvement using the same CNC bits and wood from the same board.
The table the CNC sits on is now the limiting factor in how it performs.
Relatively easy to set up. Many more options with the Masso controller. Wiring way better than the stock. Support was prompt with a few questions I had. Would highly recommend!
The MASSO came plug and play. You did a very nice job on the modifications on the back for the wiring which made for a convenient and clean install.
I plan on building another machine soon and will definitely be ordering another kit from you guys. Your turn around time was very impressive. Keep up the good work guys!
