There’s more information down here!

The T8 CNC machine is an affordable, mainly made for engraving but can also be used as a stand alone CNC. The assembly was really quite pleasant! Though the packaging could be improved, due to insufficient foam the stepper motors was lightly scratched. This did not affect the performance.

I used a software called TextMilling (http://textmilling.com/?p=download) to create the GCODES for the machine. In order to talk with the CNC you need a second software called GRBL control (https://github.com/zapmaker/GrblHoming/releases).

The result when engraving in wood was great, with no imperfections at all. I also attempted engraving onto steel, but the result was not as great. Though it’s possible to do it if you have to. I then cut out two perfect ellipsis from foam and acrylic.
