Probe CompUGuide X1 Project

The CompUCut system consists of 70+ CAM commands to complement your CAD data which together form a control program to drive the machine. The manual covers all you need to know to install the software, setup the hardware and adapt your machine, also included is a demo program that enables you to test your setup.
The result is a self built 4 axis CNC machine tool.

Why not use what you've already got?

You can use the machine that you've already got to do all the X-Y profiling for a clock. No modifications are required to the lathe, the 2 stepper motor drives are fitted in place of the manual leadscrews, setup can be dismantled in 15 minutes to win your lathe back.


The X1 Project marks a decade of CompUCut designs for small CNC machines. The progression from CompUCutter via CompUMill and the Wolfcraft conversion to the X1 Project shows a deliberate trend to make these machines easier to build for non-engineers.

The project can be built and used in 2, 3 or 4-axis CNC mode.

X1 Project from CompUCut features:

  • Light weight high speed head
  • Balanced Quill
  • Bipolar Chopper stepper motor drivers
  • 4 axis CompUCut control software
  • Thermally compliant spindle

These features make this an ideal craft machine.
