MakerMade M2 CNC Router

The MakerMade M2 is the commercialized successor to the open-source Maslow CNC concept. It uses a hanging sled system where the router is suspended by chains on a vertical frame, enabling full 4x8 foot sheet cutting at a fraction of the cost of a conventional CNC router of that size. MakerMade has improved the calibration process and chain tensioning mechanism over the original Maslow design, and provides commercial support. The fundamental limitations remain: slow cutting speeds, reduced accuracy at edges, and limited Z-depth. For cutting plywood parts for cabinets, furniture, and signs, it is a uniquely cost-effective solution.
