YoraHome Mandrill CNC Router 3036 (With Laser Module Kit)

The YoraHome Mandrill CNC Router 3036 is perfect for beginners and professionals willing to take their CNC craft to the next level.

It can cut various materials such as wood, plastic, resin, PVC, acrylic, soft aluminum, and more.

If you want a working area two times bigger than our Yora 3018, more speed and power for your cutting projects, then the Mandrill is exactly what you need.

Optimized for accuracy and heavy duty milling, this CNC carving machine has an open working area of approximately30x36cm (12x14in)which makes it easy to lay down pieces of material.

Boasting a rigid aluminum body with a solid aluminum spoilboard bed, the YoraHome Mandrill CNC Router 3036 gives you a premium look and feel for your machine while providing a strong and stable base for your carving.

The spindle motor is what drives the carving process, as its type, speed and power determine what materials can be cut.

The YoraHome Mandrill CNC Router 3036 uses a very powerful and stable 500W air cooled spindle motor with an ER11-style chuck to maximize the performance of your carving bits.

Yes! You can also use your Mandrill to laser engrave.

You just need to replace your spindle motor by the laser module and you are good to go. It comes with an additional mount for laser modules (33x33mm) to allow you to use the machine as a laser engraver.

We offer 4 types of laser power: 3.5W, 5.5W, 15W and 40W. The 15W and 40W are the most versatile.

1. DM542 Micro Step Drivers: Exceptional low noise, and low heating.

2. Knobs on Y and Z Axes: For easy adjustment and manipulation.

3. Acme Lead screws: For higher precision.

4. Limit Switches: No more jamming the machine against the frame.

5. Emergency Stop Button: No more trying to find the stop button on your computer.

6. Z-Probe: For easier setup on carving projects.

7. Drag Chains: For easier cable management.

8. Workholding included: Clamps to hold down your stock.

9. Arduino board loaded with GRBL Firmware: Works with Easel, Vectric, Carveco, Fusion 360, and other commonly available CNC software. Separate controller box with pause, resume, reset button controls.

To operate the YoraHome Mandrill CNC Router 3036, a computer with software that will communicate directly with the control board of the Mandrill is required.

We recommend Easel which is a web-based CNC software platform that allows you to design and carve from a single, simple program. It is free, easy to use and compatible with your Windows, Mac or Linux computer.

For V-carving, advanced toolpaths and more, get Easel Pro software.

For high quality 2D & 3D projects, we recommend Carveco.

We recommend the LaserGrbl software software for Windows users which is free to use, and also LightBurn software which comes with a 30-day trial (for PC, Mac and Linux).

These easy-to-use software packages will allow you to import your artwork (PNG, JPG, GIF, BMP, etc.), edit it, apply settings like laser power, speed, number of passes, brightness, contrast, and much more.
