In this video we will be having a closer look at the Carvera CNC machine. I initially got interested in it because the makers of the CNC claimed that it is perfect for milling PCBs at home. So I obviously had to check it out ;-) So this video is kind of like a review in which I show you all the good and bad things about the Carvera and ultimately show you whether it is truly capable of making PCBs at home. Let's get started!
