XCarve Build Instructions 2016 model

[DeanDunn]

I have purchased an unused 2016 XCarve CNC (with Xcontroller etc and Nema 23 motors). I have some questions:

1. Is this the correct link for the build instructions for this model - X-Carve Instructions: Welcome!

2. Roughly how long to assemble?

3. I would like dust collection, is the inventables part the only one available, or are there 3rd party options. I have the Dewalt router.

4. Before I dive in any advice to someone who is technical but brand new to CNC.

Many Thanks,

Dean

Welcome!!

1. That looks like the correct link to me.

2. A good Saturday should suffice for assembly.

3. I would purchase the dust shoe setup at least.

4. Read through the forum when you have time.

Multiple depth carve

Do you have the X-Controller? If you do, you should open it up and check the Dip Switches for each axis. Dip Switch 4 should be set to the OFF (Down if viewed with numbers on bottom or left in the image as shown) position as shown in the image below. [Capture] You will also need to ensure that parameter $1 in the GRBL settings is set to 255. [Capture] {:0) Brandon Parker

Take care to not route the USB cable next to the spindle power cable.
