AxisForge

AxisForge turns your iPhone into a professional wireless jog pendant for your CNC router or laser cutter — no dedicated hardware remote needed, just your phone and the AxisForge USB dongle.

WORKS WITH YOUR SOFTWARE
Built-in profiles for the most popular CNC and laser software — no configuration needed:

Carbide Motion
Universal G-Code Sender (Mac & Windows)
Easel by Inventables
Mach3
OpenBuilds CONTROL
Generic GRBL
LightBurn
Custom Layout — assign any key combination to any button

DESIGNED FOR THE SHOP FLOOR

Large, glowing jog buttons you can tap confidently with work gloves on
ARM/DISARM safety system — buttons only send keystrokes when intentionally armed
Deadman mode — hold the ARM button to keep jogging; release and the machine stops instantly
Automatic watchdog: if your phone disconnects mid-jog, the dongle stops all movement within 500ms
Auto-disarms when you navigate away from the jog screen — no accidental moves
Hold-to-jog mode for continuous movement, or tap mode for precise incremental steps
5 increment presets: 0.01 / 0.1 / 1 / 10 / 25 mm
Feed rate selector: Slow / Med / Fast
FEED HOLD always reachable — even when disarmed

INSTANT RESPONSE

Jog commands fire the instant your finger touches the button — not on lift
Hold-to-jog starts immediately on first touch with zero delay
HAPTIC FEEDBACK BUILT FOR THE SHOP

Talks directly to the native Taptic Engine for zero-latency response
Four feel presets: Smooth, Click, Punch, and Machine — from subtle to industrial
Press Kick intensity: Off, Tiny, Light, Medium, Heavy, or Hardcore
Smooth continuous hold buzz powered by Core Haptics — one clean waveform for the entire hold, no ticking
Hold Speed control: dial in when the buzz starts, from a relaxed delay to instant on first touch

SIMPLE SETUP

Plug the AxisForge USB dongle into your CNC or laser computer
Open the app — it finds the dongle automatically over Bluetooth
Pick your software profile
ARM and start jogging
The dongle acts as a USB keyboard to your computer — no drivers, no software install, no admin rights needed. It just works.
