Note: I have a second video that shows the finished product, but I am only allowed one video to upload. I have never used a CNC router machine before and wasn't sure what to expect in complicity of use. My etching needs are small, so this small volume/footprint machine was a perfect solution, especially give its low cost.
It took me a little time to get used to the GRBLControl software, which comes with the machine (e.g., setting up home and depth - Z-axis). But after a couple of tries I was making cool etchings that came with the software.
I just need to figure out how to make my own G-code files now. I highly recommend this machine for beginners or those who don't need a large volume to work with. Great for making cool crafts! I used ties to hold down my board for my first. Took me about 4 hours to build. Used no instructions.
Both the CNC Router hobbyist and wood working pro will find a 3D wood carving machine to fit their needs here. Computer Controlled Wood Carving Solutions. CNC Wood Carving Machine Tools Computer Controlled 3D Carving Equipment - CNC Routers for Relief Carving and Engraving. The CarveWright is the most advanced and usable CNC router system ever made. You can think of the CarveWright machine as a subtractive 3D printer. Rather than adding material, it removes material by cutting or carving with a spinning bit. Materials such as wood, machineable waxes, plastics, dense foams, and more.
Instructions and additional machine info can be found in the small CD that comes in the package.The GRBL Candle software does not generate gcode, it is a controller. You will need to generate your gcode via another software. Dont know how to do that or not interested in learning? This isnt the machine for you.This is not a toy. This is a machine that requires a moderate level of skill to build, program, & and use.

Amateur looking for a slight challenge? This is the machine for you.I like the mini CNC. I have had to learn a lot to utilize it but I am wiser for it. Bring your A game newbies, this machine is no easy task and definitely NOT plug and play right away. Well worth the money if you just want a small hobby router that just works.
Well made, About 2 hours for Normal build time. In the program, Generally speaking home is setup ( facing the router) front (nearest you ) left side to match programs process and router height is setup to home at the top of material after secured to the bed ( you should set router height home with the mandrill on to avoid potential tooling damage. The biggest issue for a new hobbies with this will be finding the correct program that’s affordable to generate the proper cnc files without paying high software prices. Also careful when using manual controls in software.
It is possible to over travel as there are not any safety’s to keep motors from over traveling axis. I advise setting you motor increments to a. I am a newbie to the cnc world. I did plenty of research before purchasing this machine and must admit I was intimidated when it arrived. It has been a few months now and I absolutely love it. Set up was pretty straightforward. I have not had any problems.
It does what you program the software to do. So far the software has been the greatest learning curve. I am really enjoying this machine and it has been a great introduction into the cnc world. I am really amazed at the projects I have been able to create! I like this little CNC machine! The provided assembly instructions are not very good but I was able to puzzle it out and get the machine put together and operational. Total assembly time was about 4 hours.
I am actually quite happy with how sturdy the frame turned out to be. The machine was shipped quickly and arrived after two days (Amazon Prime) as expected. I have zero issues with the seller! However, the software which comes with it is another matter. The GRBL Sender seems to work well, but it's far from intuitive for a novice and there is zero documentation on how to operate it. I am sure I will figure it out eventually.
The included image editor software has issues. When I began to install it my anti-virus software had a fit.
