This is a rugged CNC that is just the right size. I really like it. The only downside was the directions...there wasn't any except a video that was not even understandable. But have no fear. There are several how to assemble videos on YouTube that make putting this together a breeze. The machine worked right away after I got it put together. I even made something the first day. To use any CNC machine requires skill to get great results. This machine can definitely give you great results if you practice your skills. Totally worth the buy. After this review I am going to buy the laser version too. You can use it for laser to because the mother board has a connection for it. I love this machine already and it is at home in your home or shop because it really is the perfect size. If they had good directions that came with it this would literally be a perfect product. Don't let the low price fool you....the low price is a remarkable thing and is why I am going to buy another. The quality and capability of it is pro quality. It all comes down to knowing how to use it. If you get bad results it is actually your fault and not the machine. But don't worry, you will sharpen your skills in no time and this is the perfect machine to do so with. Consumer or pro use it is up to you. This machine can handle both no problem.
