Support Keeps You Carving

We back you up with:

  • Step-by-step startup guides

  • Free one-on-one orientation training

  • Ongoing support when questions come up

You’ll also have access to our owner community for ideas, projects, and answers from other owners (in our private Facebook group).

  • Serious makers, sign makers, and small businesses that require precision and repeatability for professional work without the footprint of a full industrial machine.

  • Yes. Because they utilize ball screw drives on all three axes and closed-loop motors, they maintain consistent accuracy across repeated jobs.

  • While optimized for all wood species, these machines effectively process plastics, composites, and non-ferrous metals like aluminum, as well as etching on glass and marble.

  • Both models require 220V single-phase power. We recommend a 20-amp circuit and will confirm your setup with you before ordering.
