Does it’s job.

Works exactly as advertised, easy to assemble and use. Keep in mind that this is an engraving machine.

Good.

Pretty good. Draws pretty well on metal and great for making jewelry.

a good educational tool

As a CNC machine tool this is very lightweight, it is not going to be used for metals but plastics and woods it will do a fine job. As a beginner machine used to learn the basics of CNC machining it really shines since its open design allows you to see the effects of any adjustments you make while tramming the axis's easily and trouble shooting any problems should be simpler. Mistakes that happen when learning to machine will be simpler to repair and/or cost much less then on a production type machine. The added offline controller means that I will not have to leave a computer hooked up to the machine while it is doing any longer projects which is a plus in my book. This is my second 3018 machine and i have a larger CNC machine as well, I am happy with how this machine turned out and will be using it often.

Well put together and worked without much fuss.

It took me a couple of hours to get this assembled. Do your self a favor and order some additional types of bits in the same order as this. First cuts came out really well. I got this mostly to engrave on LEGO bricks. I am using the free version of easel to drive the machine. Works perfectly. Just make sure you select the metric drive rod, not the ACME one in the settings. I am very happy with the product.

it will save your computer from the KILLER DUST CNC MONSTER

I have wanted it for a long time my computer was almost rued from the dust I'm so happy I ordered it by mistake my computer module Do USB port Vibraed off so I was ordering a new Computer module and accidentally ordered this but I'm so happy I wish outta order to It's well worth your money Is well worth double the money because it'll save your computer So I highly recommend it

Excellent addition!

I purchased this offline controller with the hope of using this instead of a PC in the shop. If you are not making changes to your design and you truly know where the carving is starting (to know where to 0 the 3 axis), then this is what you're looking for. Very compact, and very fast. As a side note, I wouldn't count this controller having an emergency stop, which you would have on your computer. Great addition to a CNC!

Nice machine for the price

Nice small cnc. Took me a bit and a few crashes before I finally built my own limit switches-highly recommended since the software can be a bit quirky at times, epecially when converting mm to inch and back. Took me under an hour to build, but a few more hours of trial and error and making my own limit switches using momentary push buttons, solder, and wires connected in series to the reset pins on the mainboard. Loads of free software and resources out there to get up and running and etching in no time. Google is your friend here, and YouTube as well.

Make sure you get this if you purchase the 3018 CNC router

This is a good, super easy to install and very inexpensive addition for the unit. It lets you do offline testing to make sure the unit is working properly, and it has other neat little functions that allows it to work without connecting up to a laptop/pc/server. Highly recommended.

Nice entry machine to learn the basics of CNC CAD CAM GBRL.

Easy to setup and start running for a hobbyist. Build took me 2 hrs and was straight forward.

Need limit switches

Great little machine, just needed to add limit switches for the stepper motors to stop.
