What is Maslow CNC?
Maslow CNC is a full size 4’ x 8’ router machine that can cut projects out of wood, a variety of plastics (e.g. acrylic and HDPE) and other materials.
It is a fully functional CNC router machine. One of the key benefits of Maslow CNC is that it is open source and customizable. See more at maslowcnc.com
What can I do with it?
There is no limit to what you can create. Some of the most common products our customers create are signs, trays, toys, guitars, home decoration, games, tables, chairs, and modular furniture in general. You can also browse ready-to-cut community projects [here].
With Maslow CNC you are not just limited to make projects that are completed exclusively on the machine. Many users use it to mill parts/fixtures for larger projects, like kayaks, RV’s, or even houses. You can also cut out segments that are later assembled to make the final product.
Why are there higher priced kits from different providers?
Do not get misled by marketing techniques from sellers offering kits with bonuses that are free internet resources or self-proclaimed “upgrades” with the sole purpose of inflating the price. The latest Maslow kit's version (ring system) has a precision of 0.5mm (0.0196 inches) or less when properly calibrated.
Before you go ahead and pay double the original kit’s price make sure it is an improvement and not something that just looks different.
Our full kit includes the latest ring version, the most powerful motor driver to date ($75 value), laser-cut ring/carriages for added precision, z-axis control, and more...
This the well-proven system that is currently being used by %95 of the Maslow CNC owners to create the projects you see online.
Our vision is to make large CNC technology affordable to everyone, we love the Maker's Movement and see projects like Maslow CNC as an opportunity for people to learn and get into technologies that would otherwise be difficult. The kit's original price from Bar Smith (kit creator) was $350 without z-axis control or $410 with z-axis control plus $12.50 shipping in the USA.
