Welcome to CNC

Hey there!
So you got yourself a LongMill MK2 desktop CNC… congratulations!
So, now what? Here’s everything you should know before you start building your machine.
Please read this whole section
before continuing on with assembly. It will provide you with the startup
information and context needed to have a smooth and successful assembly.
What to expect
Diving into your LongMill box you’ll be met with a whole lot of boxes within. This assembly manual is laid out in
a way that you unbag and grab things as you need them so don’t feel the need to take stock of everything right
away, instead just start off by getting your space organized and getting each initial box opened up.
Check out the ‘welcome items’ where you’ll find our letter alongside some tools provided for assembly and some
fun stickers. Also check out the ‘variable box’ and ‘rail box’ for extra goodies, some are hidden within the rails
themselves. Set aside items like the Makita and NEMA23 motor box as well any add-ons from the variable box like
bits, dust shoe, touch plate, since you won’t need these until much later on in the assembly.
