I know I want to do more with my Inventables X-Carve this year, so I added a bunch of upgrades to the machine, including Rockler t-track for better clamping and workholding, as well as a raised X-axis and brand new Z-axis. With these new upgrades, I can cut pieces up to 4 inches thick on the X-Carve, at speeds I was previously unable to achieve!
