After owning and selling a 24”x48” cnc machine (was too big for my shop) I was looking for something a little smaller that could cut wood, plastic and aluminum for small projects. For the price of this unit I couldn’t really lose so I gave it a shot. When I opened the box I was immediately impressed. Its all aluminum and ships with stainless steel cap screws. To be honest, any screws would’ve worked but the fact that they used stainless just speaks of how they had quality in mind. Two of the supports are extruded plastic but are very stout and serve their purpose well. The spindle holder is also plastic but is over engineered and well built/designed. Instructions are VERY well written unlike most Chinese product manuals. They’re in English and not Engrish. Once assembled, the unit is rock solid. This is by far the best quality “cheap Chinese” machine I’ve ever purchased. After using it for about a month I can say it does everything I need. The included “Candle” software is super easy to use and what’s great is that if you get stumped there are tons of articles and videos about it online. As you’ve probably gathered, I am happily pleased with this purchase. Just a nice little gem. It’s not often that you feel like you’ve won when buying something that seems too cheap for what it is but in this case that’s exactly how you will feel.
