Big thanks to PCBWay for sponsoring this video. Check them out here: pcbway.com
After completing the KillerBee build and doing a lot of testing with various projects, it is time to do a detailed review. In this video, I go over all the options I chose and the modifications I made to the base machine. This should give you a good idea of what you might want in your KillerBee build. In the next part, I will then go into detail on the cutting performance with various materials, including some detailed metal testing.
