The Inventables X Carve V2 1000mm Kit w/ Makita Spindle is an easy to set up and operate GRBL supported CNC milling machine with a maximum milling area of 750mm x 750mm x 114mm and a tolerance of only 0.045mm. In combination with a DeWalt milling spindle, where the speed can be adjusted between 10,000 RPM and 30,000 RPM, the X Carve allows the machining of wood, plastics, and soft metals such as aluminum.
What is new in the V2 version?
The V2 version has improved cutting speed, removal rate, and reliability due to new 9mm belts and three new 212 oz in NEMA 23 stepper motors that provide up to 50% more torque. The Z axis has also been upgraded, directly driven by another 212 oz in stepper motor, which nearly doubles the X Carves millable volume. The direct drive configuration eliminates the drive belt and improves accuracy and reliability, thus reducing additional adjustments and maintenance. The rack spacing has been increased from 2.5 to 4.5 and the width of the passing sheet has been increased from 34.75 to 37 , which allows the dust cover to remain undisturbed by the machine and keep chips in the working area of the machine.
Special Features
The integrated automatic leveling function allows the X Carve CNC milling machine to reach tolerances of up to 0.075mm. The user is supported by the software, which makes the handling of the machine easy even for inexperienced users.
In addition, the powerful DeWalt spindle enables the machining of different materials with a maximum size of 750 x 750 x 65mm. The list of materials to be machined includes wood, aluminum, various plastics such as PP, PC, ABS, PA6, and many more, as well as leather and PCBs. As a result, the X Carve is already enjoying many enthusiastic customers from very different industries.
The inventory is controlled by the so called X Controller, which is based on a GRBL firmware, and in combination with the very user friendly Easel CAM software rounds off the system. Easel was also developed by the developers of the X Carve and is therefore perfectly adapted to the CNC milling machine. Furthermore, no previous knowledge of subtractive manufacturing methods is necessary. The graphical interface guides the user through all parameters to be configured and suggests recommended values.
Last but not least is the large variety of materials, which makes the X Carve so popular. Thus, in addition to the usual soft materials such as various woods and plastics, metals such as copper, aluminum, and brass can be processed with very high precision. In addition to the right milling cutter, attention must also be paid to the appropriate feed rates and traverse speeds, but this should not be a problem for the experienced user.
