Wizmaker Artsian 01, 300W Spindle GRBL Control 3-Axis Engraving Milling Machine, Working Range 420 * 420 * 90mm(16.53''x16.53''x3.54''), Suitable for Engraving and Cutting of Wood, Acrylic, PVC.

This is the most important part. Find the flash drive in one of the ziploc bags with parts in it. The flash drive has an electronic version ofnthe assembly instructions. Use this as you can actually zoom up on it, rather than trying to read the size 3 font leaflet that came in the box. The flash drive also has the User manual, software and some example files.

Assembly was simple and straightforward. It was a little fiddly trying to get screws in through the wiring harness to assemble the track. Also the green electrical connectors on the harness were difficult to assemble because parts of them were all bent, at least on the version I received.

In general, the design and construction is fantastic. Solid and stiff construction, no flex anywhere.

Thank you for reading my review and looking at my photos of this product. I hope you found it helpful!

it's well built, sturdy, has versatility the ability to run a laser engraver instead of the router (note that it DOES NOT come with a laser, only the 300W router head) and air assist, has a nice adjustable light, can run cuts off a flash drive or a computer via USB, and includes two different sizes of cutting bits. While I hadn't heard of Wizmaker before, I did a little research and read good things about their previous products so I had high hopes for this.

This was pretty easy to assemble by following the included instructions and using the included tools. I was a little disappointed to see the stains on the work area. While not something that affects the functionality of it, I would expect better presentation from a tool this expensive. One thing I don't love about the setup of this is that the connectors for the controller area face up, so I have to imagine that I will eventually find wood chips in the USB ports.

The printed instructions only tell you how to assemble this, nothing about operation. It does include a flash drive and that includes both the printed instructions and another pdf explaining how to use the machine. It also includes the software needed and some sample files.

I'm very new to the world of CNC machines, but fortunately I have a friend who is very knowledgeable about them and has some of his own. He set it up for me and tried it out on hardwood, pine and acrylic. He was very impressed with the quality of the software and the machine, as was I. The USB has a ton of information on it and what little I have used the Candle software myself, I think even I will be able to figure this thing out. The build quality is amazing. Lot's of power, has an included goose neck light, and was very easy to assemble out of the box. All the components are well segregated in the packaging, are exceptionally well machined and fit together well. That is all I feel qualified to say about it for now. As I get deeper into it I will update, but for now, I feel confident in recommending it.

Everything is packed with great care. All pieces are nicely bagged and clearly marked. Here is not a huge number of components, and many screws are the same size. All the fit and finish is perfect; every screw and bolt went in smoothly with no galling. The mechanisms for movement are ballscrews and leadscrews with linear actuators on the Y axis. All movements are accurate and precise, and the linear guides assure no extra play or movement where it shouldn't be.
I grabbed a piece of oak for the Wizmaker logo test print. Oak is not a good CNC wood. t is too stringy. But this CNC did a mighty good job carving it. Edges were clean, and just a little sanding was needed. This was like a worst case example, and the Wizmaker achieved impressive results cutting it. f I had adjusted the spindle speed and cutting speed, I'm sure I could get stable, repeatable cuts. I'm going to try other woods, aluminum, brass, and plastics next.
The hand controller works good for simple tests and movement. can load a cut file off a USB and cut it, but using the supplied Candle software was so much easier and more reliable. Jobs can be paused and restarted straightforward in Candle.

The files on the USB drive are a treasure chest of manuals, tables, demo files, and other very useful information. I'm hanging onto this for future upgrades when they're available.
The PDF manual on the USB drive has info to get going with the Candle software. It is very intuitive to use. Candle also will do a zero set for the spindle. I measured my zero set puck, and it matched the included G-code, so no adjustments were needed. After setting the spindle height, and the origin point for the cut, the run button can be moved, and it will run fully to the end. You can at any point pause the job. And if you require it, the emergency stop can be pressed to just stop everything on the CNC. I only had to use the emergency stop once when I forgot to attach the probe wire to the router bit for the bit depth setter. If it doesn't get the electrical signal to stop travel, it will continually travel down, which could ruin the metal and plastic puck and the router bit. This little CNC has a lot of power, and this will cause some definite damage.
Note that the origin points for the included sample drawings are given and right at the center of the drawing. Usually an origin is not at the lower left edge where X=0, Y=0. The size of the workpiece can be measured with the hand controller, and it can calculate the exact center origin point in the material. With this CNC, having the origin at the center of the workpiece, the build quality of the Wizmaker is superb. There are no plastic parts on any of the drive components. The main case is well constructed steel. And thick, lightweight anodized aluminum on key parts of all the axis and guides. It is very strong and well machined. I can see the extra case that Wizmaker used in sourcing the components and building the best machine for the price range.
I filmed this cutting and fast forwarded through a few cuts. It can take a while to run a job depending on many variables. Mostly the spindle power, speed, and bit efficiency. I was surprised at how fast and accurate the cuts this makes.
It is much quieter than any of my routers. I still wear ear protection, but the sound doesn't carry out into other rooms in the house. I put this on a Festool MFT/3 as it fit perfectly, and I can clamp it down. This table isn't the most stable; still, the Wizmaker has accurate cutting and performance on it.
The included gooseneck LED light is a considerable bonus to see the full cutting action. On my phome camera it overexposes but with my eyes I see the cut line fine. The light works well and is easy to position as needed.
I understand Wizmaker will be releasing a laser option for engraving on this. The controller is already set up with the extra connections. It also has ports for a 4th axis, which would help in engraving tumblers. I am excited to try these options in the future.
The Wizmaker is a considerable value for its overall accuracy and high build quality. It is a remarkable CNC and controller in a price range that many can now afford a quality machine.
