ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE MILLRIGHT CNC CARVE KING 2
Version 1.00
Note that these are instructions for the Carve King 2. For instructions on the original Carve King, see

Important safety rules for operating your MillRight CNC Carve King 2:
Never place your hands near a spinning end mill or bit.
Unplug the router before changing cutting tools.
Always wear eye and ear protection while operating your machine.
Always run a dust collector or wear a mask while performing a milling operation.
Do not leave the machine unattended while running a milling operation.
Do not operate your machine while under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
Secure long hair and loose clothing so it is not caught in spinning mechanisms.
Ensure work pieces are properly secured before running a milling operation.
Keep a fire extinguisher nearby.
Visually inspect wires prior to power up to prevent short circuits.
Note:
We recommend using a blue thread locker on any fastener not secured with a lock washer or lock nut.

Place (4) 593mm extrusions between the front and rear
frames. The slot on the 40mm side of the extrusion should
be facing up and oriented to the outside of the machine.
The two left should have the slot on the left, the two right
should have the slot on the right. You can put a T track over
these extrusions to get a better idea of the orientation
needed for the holes to align.
Page 3 or 34
Lubricate 2 #10x1 self-tapping screws.
Place the screws through the holes in the
bottom of the frame into the holes in the
end of the right most extrusion. Use the
8mm socket to drive in the screws. Leave
loose. Continue installing the #10x1
screws in the other 3 extrusions.
Spin the frame around to work from the
other side. Put one drop-in T nut in each
slot with the hole leading. Line up one T
track with the T nuts. Using the 3mm Hex
Key, drive in (4) M5x8 button cap screws.
Leave loose. Push the t track to the frame.
The hole of the T nut must be closer to
the frame when slid all the way down or
else the T track will not seat all the way to
the frame.
Put one T nut in each slot. Line up one
MDF bed section with the t nuts. Put (4)
split lock washers on (4) M5x16 machine
screws. Using the screwdriver, drive the
screws into the t nuts. Leave loose. Push
the bed section to the back, up against the
T track you previously installed.
Alternate between the remaining T track
and bed sections pushing each back.
On the fifth T track, place the T nuts into
the slot with the hole in the T Nut closest
to the outside. Finish installing the last T
track. Leave everything loose.

Lubricate (2) #10x1 self-tapping screws.
Place screws through the holes in the
bottom of the remaining frame piece into
the holes in the end of the extrusion. Use
the 8mm socket to drive the screws. Leave
loose. Continue the process, installing the
remaining extrusions.

Working from the side of the assembly, place one 593mm
extrusion with the slot on the 40mm wide face pointing in
and oriented with the slot near the top of the extrusion as
shown in the picture. Remember, one of the frame pieces
should be slightly loose so you can set this extrusion in
place.
Page 5 or 34
Lubricate (2) self-tapping screws. Place the screws
through the two holes on the frame and into the holes in
the end of the extrusion. Finger tighten the screws to
hold the extrusion in place. Do the same to the other
end of the extrusion. Follow the same process with the
second extrusion on the other side of the bed. Be sure
that the slots on the side of the extrusion faces inboard
and are up.
Tighten all the screws on the frame. Tighten the screws
for the MDF bed sections and the T tracks. You may need
a long screwdriver at a slight angle to the screw or a
stubby screwdriver to reach the screws under the Y rails.

Place a v-wheel on a flat, hard surface. Place a
bearing on top of the v-wheel. Using something
else flat and hard, press the bearing into the v-
wheel using your body weight. A section of wood is pictured. Turn the v-wheel over. Place a M5
washer on the bearing in the wheel. It is especially important to remember the M5 Washer. It is
extremely hard to correct this if you forget. Press a second bearing into the wheel. Repeat this process
for the other wheels.

Place (2) eccentric spacers in the
Idler Side Gantry Plate (top
picture on previous page). Place
eccentric spacers with the thin
wall portion pointing to the top of
the Idler Side Gantry Plate. Put a
M5x30 machine screw through
the v-wheel, then through the
eccentric spacer. Secure with a
M5 nylock nut. Leave Snug, not tight. Repeat the process with
another v-wheel. Take careful note of which side of the place the
spacers and wheels are installed on.
Place the pillow block bearing on the Idler
Side Gantry Plate as pictured. Secure the
pillow block bearings with (2) M5x10
machine screws. Flip the plate
over.Screw in a M5 grub screw in the top
of an anti-backlash nut using a 3mm Hex
Key. Stop tightening when the grub
screw touches the bottom. Cap the grub
screw with a M5 jam nut. Repeat the
process for the second anti-backlash nut.
Place an anti-backlash nut on the plate as
pictured. Secure it with (2) M5x16
machine screws.
Page 8 or 34
Place (2) eccentric spacers into the Motor Side Gantry
Plate with the thin wall of the eccentric spacer facing up.
Place a M5x30 machine screw through a v-wheel, then
the eccentric spacer, and secure with a M5 nylock nut.
Repeat the process with a second wheel. Flip the plate.
Place the coupler on the short wire motor using the X/Z
Motor Spacer Plate to set the coupler to the correct
position. See picture to right of spacer being used to set
the proper position. Tighten the coupler using the
2.5mm Hex Key.
With the Motor Spacer Plate still on the motor, insert
the coupler into the large hole on the Motor Side Y
Gantry Plate. The motor wire should be pointing left if
you are looking at the back of the motor. From the v-
wheel side of the place (4) M3x16 machine screw
through the Motor Side Y Gantry Plate, through the
Motor Spacer Plate, into the motor. Snug down.
Coupler should have free rotational motion.

On the motor side of the Motor Side Y Gantry Plate,
place an anti-backlash nut. Using (2) M5x16 machine
screws, secure the anti-backlash nut to the plate.
Place both Y Gantry Plates to the side.

The top of the X Plate Extrusion has a notch. The
bottom is flat. Take a M5x25 machine screw and put
it through a v wheel, then through a standard spacer
from the v-wheel kit, then screw it into the X Plate
Extrusion. Repeat the process with 3 other v-wheels.
Screw an M5 grub screw into the top of an anti-
backlash nut using the 3mm Hex key. Cap the grub
screw with a M5 Jam Nut. Using M5x16 machine
screws, attach the anti-backlash nut to the X Plate
Extrusion.
