Welcome to your new Dominator Pro CNC Machine!
This page is your starting point for online references to help with your assembly. Before diving into individual steps, please review this guide to make sure you’re fully prepared.


1. What You’ll Need Before Starting

  • A clean, well-lit workspace with room to maneuver around your machine.

  • A set of metric hex/Allen keys and basic hand tools.

  • Access to this Knowledge Base on a laptop, tablet, or phone during assembly.

  • Printed Assembly manual that was included in shipments.

  • Optional: a second person to help with lifting heavier components like the gantry.


2. Recommended Assembly Flow

The Dominator Pro ships in carefully organized parts and subassemblies. The manual is broken into easy-to-follow steps, but here’s the overall order of operations:

  1. Frame Assembly – Building the base and squaring the extrusions.

  2. Gantry Installation – Mounting the gantry and ensuring alignment.

  3. Z-Axis & Spindle Mount – Installing the Z carriage and spindle mount.

  4. Electronics Package – Installing stepper motors, wiring, and the Masso controller (if purchased with electronics).

  5. Final Adjustments – Squaring, tramming, and checking smooth motion.

  6. Power-Up & Test Run – Powering on your system for the first time.


3. Assembly Tips

  • Take your time – precision during assembly ensures precision while cutting.

  • Follow the KB steps in order – each page builds on the previous.

  • Don’t force parts – everything is designed to fit. If something seems off, double-check orientation and hardware.

  • Ask for help – if you get stuck, our support team and community forums are here for you.


4. Before You Begin

  • Verify you have all the parts listed in your shipment.

  • Watch each of our check-point videos

  • Skim through the upcoming pages to familiarize yourself with the flow of the build.
