The Next Wave Shark 10.1 Pendant is a touchscreen CNC control upgrade designed to make your workflow faster, easier, and more efficient.
In this video, we walk through the entire user interface step by step, including:
-Homing your CNC machine
-Jogging controls
-Work offsets
-Z zeroing
-Touch plate setup
-Virtual zeroing for curved projects
-Air cutting previews
-File loading
-Firmware updates
-Real-world workflow improvements
We also compare the upgraded 10.1 touchscreen pendant to the standard LCD controller and explain why this upgrade completely changed how we use our Next Wave Shark CNC.
If you’re considering upgrading your Next Wave machine or simply want to understand how the 10.1 pendant works, this walkthrough will help you decide if it’s worth it for your shop workflow.
