My microCarve A4 CNC. A small, high precision CNC machine.

My Newest Hobby

I bought a microCarve A4 CNC in April 2011, and there's been no looking back ever since.

microCarve A4:

This is where I'll be putting my discoveries about using, and hopefully not abusing, the microCarve A4 CNC. I'll be talking about the machine itself, its constraints and strengths, and tips on getting as much precision out of it as I can.

Coming Soon: CNC Projects

Soon I'll be posting information about my projects, including how you can do the same thing. Stand by, it won't be long. I'm cranking out new projects at a rate of about three a week, I need to just take a sec to write them up.

Hand-Made GCode and other Digital Things

I've already gotten started writing my own gcode and cutting with it. I'll be talking about that, and other software-related subjects in this area.
