#7 in CompactFull review
A low cost first CNC for signs and engraving in wood and plastic. Buyers planning to cut aluminum or hardwood quickly should look at a machine with a bigger spindle.

2.7/5
A rigid small format machine for makers who value ball screw accuracy and closed loop motors over bed size. Buyers who want more area for the money should compare 4040 machines.

Pros

- Heavy C beam frame and 4.3 in Z travel suit thicker stock than most desktop machines
- Hybrid T-slot and MDF table makes clamping quick
- Limit switches on all three axes
Cons
- The X and Y carriages ride on V-wheels that need periodic adjustment
- The stock 400 W DC spindle is modest for the price; many owners add a trim router
- Costs more than linear rail 4040 machines with a bigger bed
