QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
Q: What’s in the box? This ad is very light on description.
A: The best description is over on the Maker Made web site, but this essentially comes with everything except the router, wood frame, and the screws to assemble the wood frame.
Q: Can this accept any type of router bits, specifically a dovetail bit? what size collet does the maslow use?
A: Yeah, so the maslow can run on most routers that have the standard 1/2 in or 1/4 collet adapter and fixed base. I would not use a dove tail bit for cutting patterns but I don’t see why I wouldn’t be able to…. for example carve a rail, key slots or such.
Q: What is the maximum area this will engrave?
A: There is more to this answer. I have the unit that will move the router in and out. The accuracy can degrade toward the edges.
Q: How does the z axis work?
A: The Router is on a bracket that moves in and out from the face of the carrier board that holds it. The bracket can slide in and out with a stepper motor controlling the distance it moves.
