This machine features a 300W, 12,000 RPM spindle, a 8"x11.5"x 2.5" work area and is suitable for routing wood, wood products, a variety of plastics and other materials. It also features a cloud based operator interface, Easel where you can create your design and control the machine.
This is the basic orientation for anyone who wants to use the Carvey, and is required before taking any future advanced classes.
