Is the water-cooled spindle the only option for this CNC router?
Yes. The G0931 comes with a water-cooled spindle, and this is the only spindle option available.
Does this machine include a post-processor or sample G-code? Can it work with Artcam?
G-code availability depends on the software being used. Vectric software includes a compatible post-processor for the G0931. Artcam can still be used to design projects, but a compatible post-processor is required. Independent companies can also create post-processors for this machine.
The specs mention both single-phase and three-phase power. Which is correct?
The G0931 operates on 220V, single-phase electricity. The spindle motor has its own built-in power pack to run independently.
Can this CNC router be used for laser cutting?
No. The G0931 is a CNC router and cannot perform laser cutting.
Can this machine cut aluminum or other metals?
No. This router is designed for wood, plastics, and other non-metallic materials. Cutting metal is not recommended.
Can this machine be used to flatten slabs or attach a sanding head?
No. The G0931 is intended for cutting and shaping non-metallic materials. It is not designed for flattening slabs or sanding/planing applications.
What is the maximum cutting area?
