In this video we show a detailed look at how to unbox and assemble the Inventables 1000mm X-Carve CNC machine. It's an affordable DIY-style kit that you put together yourself and it can be used as a CNC wood router to make signs, carve things, make parts, and all sorts of super fun stuff.

The kit was super fun to build and we have really enjoyed using the machine. So far we've made loads of signs, we use to cut out small parts for projects, and use it to make molds, jigs, and other rad stuff for the shop.

If you're looking at picking one up or just curious about how an X-Carve works, you'll probably enjoy this video a lot. Let us know what you think!

How to Assemble the X-Carve CNC Machine from Inventables

Jaimie & Jay assemble the 1000mm X-Carve from Inventables! The X-Carve is a CNC machine that comes as a DIY kit. In this video we walk you through our experience putting it together! SUBSCRIBE ► http://bit.ly/2EypcHI (It helps us a lot! Thank you! We're trying to hit 1000!) We're also on Patreon! ►http://www.patreon.com/wickedmakers WHERE TO FIND US: 👇 http://twitter.com/wickedmakers http://instagram.com/jaygrenier (Jay) http://instagram.com/jaimie_of_doom (Jaimie) We're super excited to use the 1000mm X-Carve to make things like signs, small detailed carvings, batch out highly detailed parts for projects, draw patterns, and lots of other neat stuff! There's even a laser engraving add-on that we're stoked to try at some point. Since assembling the kit, we've added some dust collection that we'll feature in another video. We'll also feature some videos of us making some rad stuff now that it's all assembled. We're super new to CNC router kits and this is the first time we've EVER used one. We're a little late to the party on this one but glad we finally got here. ;) Inventables has a great set of instructions on their website that were easy to follow. You can find them here: http://x-carve-instructions.inventables.com/ You can find more about the X-Carve on the Inventables website: https://www.inventables.com/ We're new to making videos so we'd love to hear your feedback.
