The third tool head you can fit to the Snapmaker Artisan is a CNC router (Computer Numerical Control), and the machine ships with three different router bits. It’s a 200W module that spins at up to 18,000 RPM, allowing you to speed through up to 3000mm\/min and 2mm step down (depending on the material you’re cutting).<\/p>

Step 1<\/strong><\/p>

Place your material in the machine and you wedge it so that it does not move during the time of engraving \u2013 cutting.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
