Reviewed: November 12th, 2011
This awesome three-axis CNC kit is a must-have for small projects such as circuit boards, engraving, or machining various small parts out of plastic or wood. Everything you need is included, except for a few hand tools, a vise, and a computer with a parallel port for running the software. The documentation contains clearly described steps alongside high-resolution photos, which makes the build process easy to follow. Zen Toolworks also has a large community backing their products, which is ideal for learning how to use a CNC machine, figuring out how to set up the software, or getting help with upgrades and attachments.


I have their 7×7 machine. This is a great choice! The machine is very straight forward to build, and there are instructional videos to help you along.
1. what is included?
2. what more is required to make it work?
3. Is this a 3D printer or just a carver and engraver?
4. What material can I work with?
5. what other total package do you have that is not as expensive?
Thank you
