Kenny Nyhus Fadil is the writer and publisher behind Desktopcncforge. Started with a Shapeoko 3 in 2020 cutting MDF jigs for woodworking. DesktopCNCForge covers what I’ve learned about feeds and speeds, fixturing real parts, and the dust collection upgrades that protect your shop and your lungs.
Background
I run a small network of niche reference sites covering desktop CNC machining and adjacent crafts. The format is the same across every site: hub-and-spoke clusters of articles, written from hands-on testing, with the buying recommendations that follow from the testing rather than from manufacturer marketing.
How I Work
- I buy or test gear before recommending it. Where I haven’t, I say so in the article and link to the sources I’m relying on.
- I correct mistakes openly. If something I wrote is wrong and a reader emails me, I update the page and add a dated correction note.
- I don’t publish sponsored posts. Articles either come from my own testing or from review samples that I keep for the review period; the review is honest either way.
- I update at least annually. Niche tech moves; the date stamps reflect the last meaningful review of each article.
What I Don’t Do
I don’t accept link-insertion pitches. I don’t run guest posts. I don’t publish AI-generated content disguised as my own. The bylines on this site reflect actual authorship and actual testing.
Find Me Elsewhere
This site is the canonical home for my desktop CNC machining writing. If a piece is published elsewhere it will be linked here.
