Good machine but steep learning curve

Overall this is a very capable, powerful machine with a lot of potential. That said, it has been a long arduous road to get it set up and functioning correctly. This kit is not for the faint of heart - Be prepared for a lot of problem solving and investigating. Makermade provides instructions for building the frame and assembling the M2, but falls short in how to actually use the thing. There's a lot of info available online and via YouTube, but it takes a lot of digging and a consolidated video or webpage with clear step-by-step instructions would have saved me many hours of frustration. The "enhanced dust collection" is also a bit of a let down. Basically what that means is there's a hole for dust collection (which is too small and you'll need to cut it larger) and it's up to you to figure out how to attach a vac hose to it. They provide a bracket with a strap - which leaves a gap around the hose. So you'll need to put tape around it to seal it up, which will need to be taken back off if it gets clogged with wood chips. Makermade was nice to send me a free elbow connection, but this means the vac hose exits the sled in a way that doesn't let it travel to the bottom of the workspace without hitting the floor and messing up the cut. Basically you need to engineer your own dust collection connection, which I'm still working on.

After much research and many videos, I am mostly happy with my purchase. Over-all I was quite disappointed with the vagueness of the setup instructions. No mention of electrical interference. No where that I saw was the mention that the router bits must be centered in the base plate hole. I finally found the correct chain setup on line. The Z setup, or the lack of wether or not it was needed, was not explained near wel enough. Overall, proper updates to the setup procedures seems to be irritatingly slow. Customer service is "meh" most of the time, taking days to respond. I spent too many hours having to locate information that should have been provided. These are constructive critisisms that hopefully will help you assist future customers!

Never got a chance to use it?

Mine didn’t come with bricks. Paid 1250 for it and I couldn’t even sell it for 600 brand new.

Right on par

I enjoy the m2 machine and all the features it has like the cut area and low price for what you get. I think the system desires a little more work in design but excels at small sign projects.

Big learning curve, not as much support as I had imagined they would have & very surprised they don`t have their own operating software. It took me quite a while to understand how to set up & operate the system & there still are a number of thing's I don`t fully understand about it. I have had a few operational issues with it as well. I have made a few things with it & hope to get more use out of it this year. Over all its a little pricey for what it is.

Great Machine With Amazing Customer Service

The MakerMade team was quick to respond and jump in to help refigure things out. The product is amazing. I made gifts for my family for Christmas and they couldn’t believe what I was able to do. Thanks for the hard work and the great support you provide.

Have to say there are some major benefits to the new design

Have to say there are some major benefits to the new design. The all steel frame eliminates the worry of deflection completely! In addition, the frame is a major upgrade from a maintenance and reliability viewpoint. I think the strap idea is also a great improvement over the old clamping design for the weights on the classic system. It does have better labeling for setup and assembly as well but needs some work to simplify assembly for the beginner. Keep in mind this is still a DIY kit and does have a few items that need improvement. With all of this in mind, it’s still a great value for a CNC beginner and with the right setup it has the largest cut area for the money! I posted several in-depth in-biased videos on My YouTube channel 2 Tankard Creations. For a more in-depth review, take a look and enjoy!

This is a machine to have by every maker

We have tried the first makermade cnc machine and this one it’s so much better. There are 3 big things that make a big difference. 1- The new rig system that allow us to attach the frame to the wall, and assemble it in less than half time than the previous one. 2- The new Z axis now we can work with some carving works because it’s so fast and accurate.. 3- The new software !! We really love it because it has automatic calibration !! This is a machine to have by every maker –
