X-Carve Review - is it WORTH it in 2022?

[@RoboSavvyLtd]

Thank you for mentioning us. We are always happy to help.

[@earthelder2065]

If the software is online I WON'T BUY IT EVER!!!! I have to own the app that controls my cnc or anything else for that matter. Thanks for the good review!

[@shootdasmm]

As for the final pass thing, if you didn't cut all the way through but want to. You could always just go to the software and lower the total passes to 1 pass only and just set the depth cut to the actual thickness, this works as you've already cut all the material up to the last little bit you need.

1000% agree! I want a three axis probe. I’ve been thinking of making a two year review…. Great job!

[@TheSwedishMaker]

You should! I would love to hear your opinions on it 😃

[@bernardtarver]

I've been using a Carbide 3D 3-axis probe on my X-Carve for about a year. I wrote a short probing routine for it that works well.

[@TheSwedishMaker]

@@bernardtarver cool! I will check that out! Thanks for sharing

[@bernardtarver]

@@TheSwedishMaker No problem. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gqGmhJKCo7Sanck is what I use along with the clamp from the X-Carve's Z probe.

[@ChadsCustomCreations]

Great work I need to do one of these videos on my big Co2 laser it seems a lot of people are curious about how it is holding up. Love how you edited that B roll to the music

[@TheSwedishMaker]

You should! Ive been thinking about getting one of those and would love to hear how it is holding up. Thanks!

[@ssskids123]

Fantastic breakdown. Thank you so much!

[@nutrox84]

Fra lillebror i vest, du har fantastisk bra videoer!

[@TheSwedishMaker]

Tack! 😃

What is the measurement of the X-axis aluminum structural profile?

[@gwilasean7928]

Change bits with 2 wrenges not the button on the router

[@TheSwedishMaker]

Thanks. I do, but I guess I didn't show that part.

[@Justen781]

What about foam? Do you think I am able to cut out wide body panels for vehicles?

[@MagnusNemo-xc5nx]

Have you considered the Openbuilds LEAD 1010?

[@Elianadasilvaleite]

Hello I'm from Brazil, my name is Eliana I watched your video, I want to buy the milling machine that you made a box and the hair combs, it works on 220 vts as I know I'm buying the right machine.

[@jamesg2382]

Thank you

[@mikaelsoderstrom2434]

Just asked my wife in Sweden if I could get one. She hasnt answered yet 👀

[@kirkjohnson1423]

has anyone use this product on corian ??

[@xylonguitars]

Thank you very much for sharing!!! I just purchased the Z-axis upgrade and would be very grateful is you could share which dustboot you are using... thank you, Evangelos

[@TheSwedishMaker]

Oh tough question. Im not sure which size it is to be honest

[@xylonguitars]

@@TheSwedishMaker not to worry... Suckit used to be the most successful, but they closed that business and evolved into onefinity...

[@andreabiske2815]

What is the table you have your X-carve on? we are struggling to find a sturdy workstation that is sized appropriately

[@TheSwedishMaker]

I built it out of mdf. kzbin.info/www/bejne/kJnVY55-lparhck There are some people that mount them to the wall and some have them fold down from the wall as well, but I had the space to make this and use the storage below for other parts, tools and whatnot

[@bnssoftware3292]

Where did you get the vacuum hose boom at? Do you happen to have a link to it?

[@TheSwedishMaker]

it came with the x-carve when I got it. Don't know if they sell it as an extra though

[@goffe2282]

You buy a tool and they only give you three years with the software? That is not even remotely acceptable. Does your hammer stop working after three years too? Seriously. Upgrades is one thing, but the software you get with the machine you should be able to run indefinately and having it online is no excuse.

[@SpadeAce]

So.. This thing is useless without an internet connection? No thanks.

[@amiddled]

No you don’t have to use easel. Pretty much any offline gcode sender will work.

[@pmsilvei]

Bro, unless someone gave you the machine, this is completely useless investment! You can build a PRINTNC for half the cost, and it's performance will leave you speechless compared to what you doing right now. As you take the maker scene so serious, do yourself a favor and search it. BTW, I don't have a PRINTNC. But I've designed and built a similar one and I know what I'm talking about. Good luck with your life changing (I just finished watching the other video) 😉🤞🏻

[@TheSwedishMaker]

Thanks! I would probably have built myself a cnc If I had more time at hand. But yes you are right, its much cheaper.

[@pmsilvei]

@@TheSwedishMaker Trust me, it doesn't take much time 😉

[@erikcederb]

​@@pmsilvei Compared to just ordering a ready-made kit and assembling an XCarve, reading up, learning about choices, sourcing, and building a PrintNC if you've never done something similar before, it does take a lot more time. Just the wiring of the PrintNC probably takes as much time as doing the XCarve build since it comes with plug-n-play cable bundles, and the software solution of the XCarve with the tight Easel integration is easier to get started with. That said, I would still recommend everyone who feels they are in for a build to do a PrintNC instead, since it is a far superior machine for approximately the same cost, and having built the machine yourself and gotten the understanding will be very useful in the future when you need to fix something. And it won't have any of the problems described in the video that is a result of a wimpy belt-driven machine.

[@joythomas100]

My friend, your main problen is not with the machines of all kind, but with confusion and lack of "Inspiration"!!! Tools are made to do the job! End of story! What "job"... in your case? Just asking, you know?!??? My friend- you need Help!!!

[@TheSwedishMaker]

Not really sure what you mean.
