Grizzly G0894 CNC Router: A Close Look at the 24 x 36 Machine
There is a specific buyer for whom the Grizzly G0894 is almost perfectly aimed: someone who has outgrown a desktop CNC, does not have room or reason for a 4-by-8 production machine, but wants something genuinely rigid, accurate, and backed by real support.
The G0894 is a 24-by-36-inch CNC router from Grizzly Industrial, sitting between the benchtop machines and the full production routers.
The specifications
- Cutting area: approximately 23-5/8 by 35-3/8 inches.
- Spindle: 3 HP, 220V. Confirm the exact electrical configuration with Grizzly before wiring your shop.
- Collet: ER20, accepting 1/8 to 1/2 inch tool shanks.
- Spindle speed: roughly 6,000 to 24,000 RPM.
- Accuracy: rated around plus or minus 0.005 inch.
- Weight: about 882 pounds.
What the G0894 does well
- Real rigidity and accuracy. At 882 pounds and plus or minus 0.005-inch rating, it holds tolerances lighter machines struggle with.
- Genuine cutting power. The 3 HP spindle handles serious hardwood and production work.
- Practical work area. Handles substantial signs, furniture components, and cabinet parts while staying compact.
- Grizzly support. US-based support, parts warehouse, and warranty.
- Versatile tooling. ER20 1/8 to 1/2 inch range and 6,000 to 24,000 RPM cover a wide variety.
The honest limitations
- Not a full-sheet machine. Will not take a full 4-by-8 sheet. Need sheets? See the G0895.
- Needs space and 220V. Nearly 900 pounds and 220V mean a real shop.
- A real investment. Not for someone still deciding whether CNC is for them.
- Confirm the electrical spec with Grizzly before wiring.
Who should buy, and who should skip
Excellent fit if you: have outgrown a desktop CNC; run a small shop or are a dedicated hobbyist; need 24-by-36 work area without a full-sheet footprint.
Look elsewhere if you: cut full sheets (step up to G0895); are new to CNC (start with the Genmitsu PROVerXL 4030 V2); lack shop space or 220V.
The bottom line
The G0894 is a well-targeted mid-size CNC router for the buyer who has outgrown a desktop machine but does not need a full-sheet production router. Its 3 HP spindle, ER20 collet, wide speed range, plus or minus 0.005-inch accuracy, and nearly 900-pound rigidity make it a genuine step up, backed by Grizzly’s US support and warranty.
