1000mm X Carve Assembly and First Impressions

- I never thought I would say this but I just purchased my first CNC router. The reason I never thought I would say that is mostly because for a long time I was opposed to using a CNC in a woodshop simply because I subscribed to the school of thought that using a CNC machine wasn't really woodworking at heart and that type of tool just didn't belong in my shop. Boy was I wrong! Once I got past that sort of ignorant mindset and started doing more research and seeing the amount of time it would save me and my workflow and the potential of what they're actually capable of doing, I became more open to the thought of getting one. Since doing so, I started quickly seeing the many advantages that owning an X-Carve has truly given me. The one I bought was from Inventables and it was their 1000mm XCarve model. It's considered to be more of an entry-level machine without a lot of bells and whistles and is thought of being more of a tool for hobbyists instead of a production shop but I was ok with that fact and it really has been the perfect addition for me and my shop. The best part about it is that there was a very small if any learning curve and being that I had no familiarity with how to even use a CNC router, how designing models worked and using CAD software in general, and all the lingo that came along with it, there really hasn't been an issue with that whatsoever and I was able to pick things up very fast and was up and carving in the first few minutes of turning the thing on. My only issue at first was with the amount of for assembly time there was but in hindsight have found that building the entire machine piece by piece gives you the chance to be intimately familiar with all of its components and if there is ever an issue, you know pretty quickly what it is and how to fix it. So with all that said, Here's a quick video of the assembly and my initial first thoughts and impressions. Enjoy!

Will this machine comes with legs to support the entire unit ?
What software does it use
Can I make kitchen cabinets with this ??
How fast is this machine? I simulated a carve on the easel software and it was a fairly basic design and it said 3 hours... lol I'm really hoping it's not that slow.. I was hoping no more than 6-7 minutes
Love honest thoughts. thanks for the video
What are the key features of the millright Mega V cnc that make it better than other machines?
What are the dimensions of the work area
Can someone who knows nothing about cnc routers put this together
It’s been 8 months since you posted this... what’s your thoughts now??
nice! I may have to buy one. good video ty!
All in all was it easy to put together ? And what type of table do you have it set on ?
Inventables won’t ship to Canada so if you’re north of the line, you won’t be buying one of these, even if you can afford the onerous exchange rate. Great marketing boys.
Helper doggos helped. Lol
Nicely done Pete.
That looks like a room I used to sleep in when I stayed at my Aunt Adrienne's house during the summer in Lodi.
I've been pricing these up for a while now. I'm surprised at the amount of assembly that's needed too! (But I still want one haha)
