Hi All,

Getting ready to pull the trigger on a Fox Alien Machine XE-Ultra CNC.

My shed only has a 240v 13 amp cable and so I cannot get the 1500w spindle as the electric draw will be to much with a shop vac and other electrical tools going and so will either use a Makita or similar router or the Genmitsu 710w 65mm spindle.

To me the Genmitsu 710w 65mm spindle looks just like a router but with ER11 collets, Is that the only difference or is their something else? Thanks.

Campervan Rock & Roll bed

Hi all! I've used the search function but didn't find any posts for campervan builds. I was trying to create a Rock & Roll style bed using VCarve to use on a Shopbot. The learning curve is so steep, and I don't want to waste a lot of wood. So, I'm now looking to purchase a plan that maybe someone has already designed. I've tried Etsy without luck. Does anyone have suggestions on where else I may be able to find someone selling their designs? Thanks for any help!

Pushed a few updates to PureCutCNC this week — version 0.0.3 is out.


STL model operations are now in a first usable state — you can import a 3D model and get rough and finish toolpaths out of it. Still early but it works.


Recursive V-Carve got some attention too — smoother Z transitions through letters and fewer unnecessary retractions. Carving text should feel a bit cleaner now.


Added rest machining for edge routes, so you can follow up a first pass with a smaller tool on what's left.


GrblHAL is now a supported post-processor export target.


There were also a handful of UI improvements and fixes along the way — nothing dramatic, just things that were a bit rough around the edges getting tidied up.


Lots still to do, but making steady progress. Feedback always welcome.

I’m in the DFW metro area and I’m remodeling my home office. I want a custom 3d carved sign to really tie the room together but am finding it hard to locate someone nearby who could help. I’ve attached a copy of what I’d like to have replicated.
