Welcome to AxioCNC

AxioCNC is a stability-focused G-code sender built around real CNC workflows. Control your machine from any device on your network.

What is AxioCNC?​

AxioCNC is a web-based interface for CNC controllers that prioritizes stability and predictability during long cutting jobs. Built on the proven cncjs server foundation, it brings a modern interface and workflow improvements designed to prevent costly mistakes and crashes.

Workflow: Design on your computer → upload G-code → Setup (position, zero, visualize) → Monitor (run and watch) → Stats (review past jobs).

Key Features​

  • Stability-first design — Predictable behavior during long jobs
  • Spaced controls — Reduces accidental taps (e.g. Z-down next to X+)
  • Network accessible — Control from any device on your network
  • Light and dark themes — Comfortable for long sessions
  • Native joystick support — Smooth analog jogging with USB gamepads or web-based joystick
  • Tool library — Human-readable tool names link your CAM to your machine
  • Touch plate and edge finder support — Built-in zeroing workflows
