Quick verdict

The Carve King 2 is a compact router kit with an all-aluminum frame, V-wheels and lead-screw drives. Its working area is about 17.25in square, with 4in Z travel. The kit includes a Makita mount and basic clamps, but the router is separate. MillRight provides assembly instructions and technical support; service quality should not be assumed from the brand alone.
