AxisForge pairs with a plug-and-play USB dongle over BLE 5.0 and sends real keyboard shortcuts to any CNC or laser software — no drivers, no wires, no software to install on your machine's computer.
From pocket to pendant in seconds — see exactly how it feels to jog your CNC wirelessly.
From plug-in to full jog control in under a minute — real wireless CNC control with zero friction.
Select your CNC or laser software from 8 pre-configured profiles — Carbide Motion, UGS, LightBurn, Mach3, OpenBuilds, Easel, and more. The right key bindings are already loaded. Just pick your software and start jogging.
The app is free on iOS and Android. The dongle is all the hardware you need.
Designed for the hobbyist CNC and laser shop — not industrial equipment with industrial pricing.
0.01 mm incremental control, ARM / DISARM safety gate, and live Bluetooth signal strength — all from your phone, up to 15 m from your machine.
No setup. No drivers. No BS. Plug the AxisForge dongle into any USB port, open the app, and you're jogging wirelessly — in under a minute, every time.
Haptic feedback on every button press gives tactile confirmation of each command — even with shop gloves on. Precision you can actually touch.
One small USB dongle. Works on any machine running Windows, macOS, or Linux — no drivers, no software install. Your computer sees it as a standard keyboard.
Order the Dongle — $49.99 CAD →The dongle arrives pre-flashed and ready. No configuration needed on your CNC or laser computer.
Insert the AxisForge dongle into any USB port on your CNC, laser, or 3D printer computer. It registers instantly as a standard USB keyboard — no drivers, no software, works on Windows, macOS, and Linux.
Open AxisForge on your phone. It scans for nearby dongles and connects in seconds. Then pick your software from the built-in profile list — Carbide Motion, LightBurn, UGS, Mach3, and more are already configured.
Tap ARM to enable jog commands, then use the X/Y/Z pad to move your machine. Switch between TAP (single-step) and HOLD (continuous motion) mode right from the jog screen.
Every feature is designed around real hobbyist CNC and laser workflows — safety first, then speed and flexibility. No industrial price tag.
Stay connected across your shop. Real-time RSSI signal strength shown in the app bar with colour-coded bars and dBm value so you always know your link quality.
Jog commands are blocked until you explicitly arm the pendant. A 500 ms BLE heartbeat watchdog auto-disarms the moment the connection drops or the app closes.
Hold ARM to keep jogging active. Release your finger — machine stops and pendant disarms instantly. Industrial-grade safety for hands-on work.
Emergency Feed Hold works even when disarmed. One tap halts all machine motion immediately, regardless of the current arm state.
TAP sends one keypress per touch — perfect for precise incremental moves. HOLD auto-repeats up to 12 presses/sec for rapid continuous traversal. Toggle right on the jog screen.
0.01 / 0.1 / 1 / 10 / 25 mm standard steps. Carbide Motion uses its native 4-step system (0.025 / 0.25 / 1 / Fast). Your last selection is remembered every session.
Assign any key to any jog direction — letters, F-keys, numpad, arrow keys, and modifier combos (Ctrl, Shift, Alt). Makes AxisForge compatible with virtually any CNC software.
Real-time Bluetooth signal strength displayed in the app bar with colour-coded bars (green/orange) and exact dBm reading. Know your range before you move further from the machine.
AxisForge remembers your last dongle and reconnects automatically every time you open the app — no need to scan or select it again.
Dark for the dim shop corner, light for the bright workbench. Switch anytime — your preference is saved between sessions.
Optional vibration on every button press gives tactile confirmation so you know the command was sent — even with gloves on.
Prevent your phone from going to sleep while jogging. Screen stays on as long as the app is open — no more unlocking mid-job.
Everything you need to jog your CNC wirelessly — clean, fast, and built for the shop floor.
Open the app, plug in your dongle — AxisForge scans and connects via Bluetooth automatically.
Your AxisForge dongle appears the moment it's in range. Tap Connect and you're live.
Choose from 8 pre-configured profiles — Carbide Motion, UGS, LightBurn, Mach3, Easel, and more.
X, Y, and Z axis buttons with 4 speed presets. Tap or hold mode. Dead-man safety built in.
Switch between dark and light interface to match your shop lighting and personal preference.
Haptic feedback, custom key bindings, deadman mode, jog themes — tuned exactly to your workflow.
Step-by-step setup instructions and usage tips right inside the app — no manual needed.
8 built-in profiles pre-configured with the exact key assignments each program expects — plus a fully custom slot for anything else.
Shapeoko · Nomad · Windows / macOS
Purpose-built profile for Carbide Motion. Increment steps match Carbide Motion's own native precision presets — 0.025 mm, 0.25 mm, 1 mm, and Fast — so the machine behaves exactly as if you were using a physical pendant.
Visit Carbide Motion ↗Laser cutters & engravers · Windows / macOS / Linux
Full X, Y, and Z jog control for any laser running LightBurn. The profile is trimmed for laser workflows — increment steps and feed rate are hidden so you only see what matters on the shop floor.
Visit LightBurn ↗UGS · macOS
Dedicated profile for UGS on macOS. Full X, Y, and Z jog control with Feed Hold and Resume — tuned for the Mac version of Universal Gcode Sender.
Visit UGS ↗UGS · Windows
Dedicated profile for UGS on Windows. Full X, Y, and Z jog control with Feed Hold and Resume — tuned for the Windows version of Universal Gcode Sender.
Visit UGS ↗Mach3 CNC controller · Windows
Configured to match Mach3's default jog assignments out of the box. Full X, Y, and Z control with Feed Hold and Resume — no changes needed in your Mach3 configuration.
Visit Mach3 ↗OpenBuilds · Windows / macOS
Drop-in compatibility with OpenBuilds CONTROL. Full X, Y, and Z jogging with Feed Hold and Resume — works immediately with a stock OpenBuilds install, no setup required.
Visit OpenBuilds ↗Inventables Easel · Browser-based · Windows / macOS

Visit Easel ↗Any GRBL-based sender · Windows / macOS / Linux
A universal profile for any GRBL-compatible sender — bCNC, CNCjs, Candle, and more. If your specific sender isn't listed, this profile covers it. Use Custom Layout if you need to fine-tune the assignments.

AxisForge is built around the same deadman-switch philosophy used in industrial equipment. Multiple independent layers ensure the machine stops the moment you lose control.
Always active regardless of arm state. One tap halts all machine motion immediately.
Hold ARM to jog. Release your finger — machine stops immediately and pendant disarms. No button press required to stop.
Same app. Same setup. Two hardware options — pick the one that fits your shop.
If your machine and computer are close by, Standard does the job without overcomplicating things.
Order Standard →CNC and laser setups are surrounded by metal, motors, dust collectors, and electrical noise — all of which kill wireless range fast. The Pro is built for that environment.
Order Pro →* Range varies depending on walls, metal, machine frame, electrical noise, and shop layout.
Blunt version: Standard is fine. Pro is the one I'd buy.
Download the free app and plug in the AxisForge dongle — you're jogging in under a minute. The dongle is available on TheBossFactory.ca and Etsy.
