    • Easier than expected.
The CNC came nicely boxed, with all parts, and (mostly) clear instructions. One axis was labeled Y twice, but other than that, no other typos. Amazingly, even without full calibration, the test files worked right away! It definitely takes some tinkering if you want to mill your (or someone else's) 3D models. That said, I'm impressed with the build quality and fits of all the parts. It's well engineered. Recommendations: 1) start with dense foam insulation as you can rip thru it without endangering the drill bit. Later, experiment with soft woods and such. 2) Find some slicer software to turn STL models into gcode. I found kiri:moto is free and works great. I have found that I needed to edit the top header of the gcode it created, but that was just copying and pasting the top few lines from the examples into the created gcode, replacing the startup sequence (easier than it sounds). 3) Learn a little bit about what gcode is. It's a line by line series of commands that control the CNC. It's all text and is pretty simple. Mostly, just know what the machines wants (everything measured in mm) and give it that. :) Again, the supplied examples that came with the machine will help you figure that out. 4) the Candle software works great (and its cool watching it model the tool path), though I found it freezing up on long runs (more than an hour). I now make the gcode, offload it to the (supplied) microSD card, plugged it into the offline controller, and ran the file directly; no mid-mill faults with this method whatsoever. 5) milling generates a LOT of fine shavings. Have a vac or dustpan nearby. I decided to buy a plastic, translucent, container I can put over the whole machine while it runs, to help contain the dust and shavings. 6) The machine is pretty quiet. I have it running in the garage and when I enter the house, I can't hear it at all. That said, I think the above mentioned cover will also deaden the sound a bit more (it's high-pitched noisy next to the machine). 7) A bunch of engraving bits are supplied, but I'd recommend buying some additional end-mill bits if you plan to do milling with depth (i.e. not just cutting words into a flat plate) as the supplied knife-like bits aren't the best for that task. 8) getting this slightly more expensive version with the hard stops and emergency stop button has already paid off. I can't imagine getting a machine without those. I'd have ruined it with my first self-made gcode. That may be just me, but if you haven't done milling before, get this machine to provide a modicum of forgiveness to your first solo runs. All in all, I'm really happy with this machine! It's an experiment, but a well-functioning one. ... show more

    • Beware of size
This unit IS small so be prepared ,this will not perform as it's bigger counter parts,BUT does work very well if you don't try and push this little guy hard,take your time ,,it is made very well,and stock spindle is adequate,,,just remember and think about the size of your projects you are trying to do,,,good learning before you buy the bigger units,I just happen to do small projects and it's been a great tool ... show more

    • Very solid machine for the price
Let's face it, you're probably a bit skeptical. It's inexpensive, it's small, it's mass produced. How good can it possibly be? Well, the answer is...this thing is unexpectedly good. Pros : * Great for beginners/newbs! This thing's a fantastic entry level learn-as-you-go starting point. * Easy assembly and setup. You'll be cutting within just a couple of hours. The instructions are, for the most part, clear, easy to follow, and complete. * It's surprisingly accurate! Honestly, I expected maybe 1mm accuracy, but I can reliably cut to .3mm or less with no special effort. * It works and plays well with others. Any commonly available CAM software and GCode sender will run it just fine. * Repeatability is many times better than I expected. I've been doing stuff with 5 or more tool paths, and it reliably lays each one down right where it should. Cons * Great googly moogly this thing is noisy, especially when cutting hardwood. * The Z-Travel is extremely small. This shows up when you're trying to cut, say, 3/4" or 18-20mm stock. You think it's well within the z-travel limits, but add a spoil board and then an end mill sticking out, and you rapidly run out of available travel. This is especially annoying when your software/settings want to move the bit to 10mm above the work surface for travel, and there just ain't room. * The external controller leaves a fair bit to be desired. Documentation is poor, the UI is clunky, and the buttons just aren't very reliable/consistent. Go slow and be careful! Things to know : * There's more to CNC than "upload GCode press play". Lots to learn about materials and toolpath settings and workholding, etc. Be patient and thorough. * Buy more bits! You won't get beyond carving your kid's/pet's/spouse's names with the included ones. * SLOW AND EASY is the name of the game. This thing has a small, not very powerful motor. That's not a con, it just is what it is. *In its limits*, it's fantastic...but feeds and speeds must be *much* lower/slower than "common recommendations" for any given bit/material. Yes, that means things take time. If you're expecting to duplicate what YouTubers do with machines costing 10-100 times as much, that's your fault, not the machine's. ------- Stars for ease of setup, unexpectedly good performance, value as a teaching tool. Deductions for z-travel hinderances and noise. ... show more
