Pros
- Ball screws, linear rails and closed loop steppers on every axis hold accuracy in aluminum
- Inductive limit switches and hard stops give repeatable homing
- Takes anything from a trim router to a 1.5 kW spindle, so it can grow with the work
- Fits on a bench at about 40 by 33 in
Cons
- No spindle or spoilboard at this price, so budget a few hundred dollars more
- Running jobs without a computer needs a separate offline module
- A 1 year warranty is short for a $1,400 machine
