I'm very pleased with the X-Carve and extremely grateful to Inventables for the opportunity to have a tool with so many uses. I foresee a lot of projects in the future.

This video is a summary of the build process, less instructional and more "heads-up" of potential sticking points in the build procedure.
I'm VERY happy with the X-Carve, and think that it's designed in such a way that almost anybody can assemble and use it. I highly recommend it to anyone who is interested.
