You can carve aluminum and other non-ferrous metals. For optimal results in aluminum and non-ferrous metals, lubrication and tools specifically designed for metals are required.

The spindle is air-cooled for easy setup and use.

We do not have any plans down the line to support anything besides a router head for X-Carve Pro. This is for both safety reasons and our inability to offer quality software for these applications. There are some people making these modifications to their machines but they are considered unsupported upgrades, are not covered by and will likely void the 1-year limited warranty that comes with X-Carve Pro.

The X-Carve and X-Carve Pro are two very different CNC machines. The X-Carve uses a router and belt drive system, while the X-Carve Pro has an included spindle and uses ball screws and linear guides. While it’s not possible to expand your X-Carve to an X-Carve Pro, many customers are looking forward to running both machines out of their shop.

We currently do not offer an expander kit to turn your 4x2 into a 4x4.

We do not recommend or support the use of your own spindle. The included 2hp (1.5Kw) spindle arrives ready to work with pre-programmed VFD (variable frequency drive).

The maximum size material that can be carved is infinite feet long, 4ft wide, and 4 inches thick.

Approximately 300lbs for the 4x4 and approximately 275lbs for the 4x2

The footprint for the 4x4 model is 65.75in x 55.75in x 25in and the footprint for the 4x2 model is 65.75in x 31.6in x 25in.

Yes, as long as your program can export standard G-Code, SVG, or DXF files, the X-Carve Pro will work with other CAD/CAM software options.

Yes, and with our new Machine Profiles feature, you can move your computer from machine to machine.

Internet access is required to load and save Easel projects. Internet access is not required to work with a project once loaded or to connect to your machine and carve a project. If you do make changes to an Easel project while working offline, you will need to re-connect to the Internet to save them before closing the tab/window that the project is running in.

No, you will not be automatically billed. Instead, we will send you a reminder so you can update your payment method and avoid disrupting your subscription.

When your 3 years of included Easel Pro runs out, you will need to have a valid payment method stored on your account for it to renew. Otherwise, your account will become an Easel Free account. We do not delete or destroy any projects, so if that happens (accidentally or on purpose), you'll just need to enter a valid payment method to be restored to an Easel Pro experience again.

We have many Easel files available on our Projects Page and will be adding more X-Carve Pro projects as we get closer to the arrival of your X-Carve Pro.

We will be rolling out these features as soon as they’re available. We project that it will be no later than when we start shipping X-Carve Pros to customers.
