Q. How do I design the shape or design that I want with the machine?
A. You can use a CAD software to create 3D paths, arks, circles, drill holes lines and other paths.

Q. How do I design the shape or design that I want with the machine?
A: Free Evaluation: Fully functional version of Rhino is available for download. is the same as the commercial version except that it only saves 25 times. After that it is still fully functional except it will not save. It will still work great to learn Rhino and as a viewer for Rhino and many other file formats. Download a demo by clicking here.

Q. If I am new to CNC, CAD and CAM; should I be concerned about getting the machine right away?
A. NO. you will still need to research, understand, and know how to use the CAD and CAM software of your choice prior to the machine arriving at your facility. This may take from 2week to 6 months. It will vary on your knowledge base of computers.

Q. What CAD software should I use?
A. We recommend KCDW cabinet software. This software will allow you to create 3D images of the cabinets to show to your clients. KCDW will export DXF to a Cam software that will than allow you to control the tool path of the bit. CAM software calculates the offset of the diameter of the tools that are used and provide the user a more efficient way of programming compared to write lines of code yourself. Runs about $7500 to $15000. This price will depend on options. Call a representative to day at 714-999-1156.

Download a demo by clicking here. The difference from a the license version and the demo is the G-Code will max out at 1000 lines of code. This program runs retail about $199.00.


Q. Does the machine need an enclosure to keep down the noise or contain dust?
A. We recommend that you make a box enclosure if you are 3D cutting. Make sure to have the machine in front of you before you construct the enclosure. If you are interested in K2 to build you an enclosure for your machine please call us for more information.

Q. How long should my machine last with proper maintenance?
A. Your machine is made to last a life time. Just because your linear rails are steal you still need to keep you machine maintained by greasing your bearing block and or any other part of it. We recommend one greasing per week or more if running over 8 hours per day. Defects on most parts are warranted for one year. Over 99% of the machines have not needed any replacement parts within or over the one year period.


Q. Do I need a Dust Collection system?
A - NO, but when we tested wood cutting, up to 95% of the wood dust and chips were contained or vacuum into the vacuum systems. We are expected to release a dust vacuum system soon. Please call or email us for more information.

Q. Vacuum System?
A - K2 is currently sells low to high CFM vacuum pumps for holding down sheets of wood and plastic. When technique and hardware is used properly the loading and hold down of materials is fast and very efficient.
