Frequently Asked Questions:

  • When packed up for storage Maslow4 is 350mm (14in) across and 280mm (11in) tall.

  • 50mm or 1.9 inches thick. CNC routers cut in multiple passes so that’s not all in one go unless you are cutting something soft like foam.

  • Yes! You do not have to use it at it’s full size.

  • Yes, no, maybe? We really designed Maslow4 around the Dewalt router that is pretty universally available, but we’re working on trying to support some other router options like the popular Makita trim router and maybe a spindle. It’s also meant to be hackable so we expect to see all sorts of interesting modifications. At the moment the only router that we can guarantee will work out of the box is the Dewalt, but we’re hoping to expand that.

  • Hannah is working in Alaska for the summer but we’re hoping to get her back in the fall.

  • Maslow uses industry standard G-code which means it works with hundreds of different programs which handle dozens of file types. The most common file types we use are .DXF (Autocad) and .SVG (Adobe Illustrator), which need to be converted into G-Code (.NC file type) in order to be read by Maslow's software

  • No. That's illegal. We are doing our best to keep the cost and shipping cost of the machine as low as possible.

  • Yes! But not yet. Our main priority is going to be building and shipping kits, but once we’ve got all of our Kickstarter backers their kits we will sell parts individually both as spare parts and for folks who want to build their own mostly from scratch.

  • You will need to buy a DeWalt DWP611 router (DeWalt 26200 in Europe).

    It’s also nice (but not necessary) to have a vacuum for dust collection, but it’s not necessary. If you already have a vacuum that you want to use, you will need to buy a hose adapter to make it fit on Maslow.

  • Thirteen feet

  • Speed: 2,500mm/min (100ipm) x/y, 300mm/min (11ipm) z. I usually cut around 2,000mm/min.

  • 120-240 volts, 50-60Hz, <1 Amp for the machine, 7 amps for the router.
