Shipping&Setup
How will the LGMILL Pro be delivered?
It will ship via LTL freight in several boxes on a pallet with lift gate service included through our carrier. The size of the pallet is estimated around 69.09" x 30.11" x 22.64.
How much will shipping cost?
The LGMILL Pro ships via LTL Freight. This is a 300-pound product and requires freight shipping. Shipping services include lift gate delivery. The shipping cost for the machine alone is a flat rate of $373.62. There will be a slight additional charge for the included surfacing bit that ships separately from the machine based on the delivery address. Any additional items purchased with the machine will add shipping cost to the total order. The best way to determine costs is to add an X-Carve Pro to your cart and enter the shipping address. Note: The X-Carve Pro currently is only shipping to USA addresses, including USA territories and military bases. For details, see this guide: Can I purchase X-Carve Pro internationally?
What size workbench do you recommend for the machine?
We recommend 6’x6’ for the 4x4 and 6’x3’ for the 4x2.
What is included with my LGMILL Pro order?

How long does it take to assemble the LGMILL Pro?
It takes less than 2 hours to assemble the X-Carve Pro.
What are the power requirements?
The LGMILL Pro plugs into a standard non-GFCI/GFI 120v outlet. Industrial-grade CNC machines that allow for the spindle speed to be controlled by the operator are powered by Variable Frequency Drives that are not compatible with GFCI outlets. We do recommend the LGMILL Pro is on its own circuit, but the VFD for the spindle is integrated into the controller, so you'll only have one plug to put in your outlet.
What is the amp draw?
The rated amperage is 5 amps, and it will work on a standard 20 amp breaker, but it is capable of running on a standard 15A circuit. The actual amperage draw will depend on the the project and cut settings.
What is the temperature rating?
The LGMILL Pro recommended operating temperature rating is between 23 F and 104 F.
