For hobbyists, by a hobbyist
Figuring out CNC so you don't have to.
We scour the forums, watch the videos, read the threads, and boil it all down into clear, honest guides for weekend warriors like us.
Your CNC homework, done.
We dig through the forums, videos, and docs so you get clear answers — not 47 open tabs.
Research-backed guides
Every guide is built from real community discussions — Reddit threads, manufacturer forums, YouTube deep dives. We cite our sources and show our work.
Curated, not created
When someone's already made a great video or written a great guide, we link to it. No reinventing the wheel — just organized, vetted recommendations.
No sponsored bias
We're not paid by any manufacturer. Affiliate links help keep the lights on, but they never influence what we recommend. Community consensus drives everything.
