Acceptable work piece materials

Engrave/ Cut

  • MDF / HDF
  • Softwood, Hardwood, Plywood
  • Acrylic
  • PCB
  • Very soft Aluminium (no harder than brass or aluminum 6061) (Detail untested)

+ Height Map support

Current Machine Location

CNC3018Pro Location2.jpg

The CNC 3018 Pro is currently on the right side shelf in the machine workshop.

Getting started

Basic operation

  • Change Router bits
  • Change Spindle
  • Z Height map

Please Inspect the machine in regards of integrity before Use! Please check:
- Is all cable connected correctly and in tact?
- Is the linear rods and drive screw damage free?
