Welcome to Carver Cnc

A brief introduction
Carver Cnc is a large cnc machine. It is designed primarily to become a business machine for pcb making, furniture making, or even as a primary tool in the most advanced maker space. The applications are almost endless.

I created this blog to serve not only as technical documentation but will also contain tutorials and guides on how to properly maintain, handle issues and use the machine properly to avoid failure and ensure longer machine productivity and efficiency.

We all know that cost of these machines are quite expensive so we kind of expect too much from it to do wonders and it will surely does if we know how to create the designs, operate the machine properly.

Recommended Reading
I highly recommend reading Cnc Cookbook Blog. This blog contains very useful information in handling Cnc Machines perfect for all cnc users(from beginners to the ultimate experts).

I am going to end my post by showing you the very first work I have ever done with this machine:


I used 3mm straight bit single flute 1/4" shank and I used the trial version of ArtCam to generate the g-code.
