The MillRight Carve King is Latest Desktop CNC Milling Machine with an Affordable Price

Back in the summer of 2016, MillRight CNC burst onto the scene with their surprisingly affordable M3 desktop CNC machine ($299 for the kit)–a barebones setup which featured an MDF frame, NEMA 17 stepper motors, a modest 10.25″ x 10.25″ (260mm x 260mm) work area and powered by an Arduino Uno control board. Consequently, the company has upped their game for this year by introducing their newest desktop CNC machine, the Carve King, a kit that boasts several new upgrades over the previous M3.

Most notably, the kit is equipped with laser cut, anodized 1/4″ 6061 aluminum bearing plates, making it more robust in terms of stability as well as lead screws on all axis instead of belts for X/Y axis and while you’ll get increased precision, it will run slower on the rapids. They’ve also included an Arduino Uno pre-loaded with Grbl control firmware, so it’s ready to go straight out of the gate.

Carve King CNC Specs

The complete spec’s for the Carve King are as follows:

• Work area: Approximately 17”×17”×4” (432mm x 432mm x 102mm)
• Laser cut, anodized 1/4″ 6061 aluminum bearing plates
• Trapezoidal lead screws with anti-backlash nuts on every axis
• V Slot rails with rugged polycarbonate V wheels and double shielded bearings
• CNC routed, double-refined 3/4″ MDF frame
• High torque NEMA 17 stepper motors with dual drive on the Y-axis
• T-Track extrusions in bed for superior clamping options
• Drag chains for wire management
• Uno USB controller board preloaded with Grbl control firmware
• Stepper driver shield and DRV8825 drivers
• 24V Volt, 120-Watt power supply
• Laser cut acrylic electronics enclosure with cooling fan
• Basic work clamps (included)

So, like the M3, MillRight offers several extras at additional costs, including a DeWalt DWP611 router for $135, a router mount for $35 and 400W spindle kit for $125, which adds to the Carve King’s base price of $699. Finally, while the Carve King was released only a short time ago, the company has a ‘monster’ machine, the full metal, precision Power Route Kit, available for pre-order at $2,649.
