A compact CNC that features robust construction with the same reliability as our larger CNCs, the DWC1824 Mini Carver is compact enough to sit on your workbench and can be moved easily without taking up a lot of room.

The Mini Carver has an 18" by 24" cutting area, 4" clearance, and features a 1 1/4 horsepower motor.

The DWC1824 is made to be intuitive and easy to use so that anyone can begin CNC carving, no matter your prior experience.

The DWC1824 CNC router comes pre-assembled with everything you need to carve, and isn't a kit that you will need to put together yourself.

Made in Indiana from high-quality components, this hobbyist CNC was designed to last, and many of our customers have used it to start businesses before upgrading to our professional CNCs that are designed for higher production.
