Good machine for the price
I bought this machine for the sole purpose of cutting a particular shape out of anodized 1/32 thick aluminum sheets.When the machine arrived, one of the stepper motors was defective and did not have enough torque to move the lead screw. After contacting support, they were able to assist and I was up and running! If you are cutting metals, the v bits that come with the machine are not going to get you very far. After some research, I got some up cut endmills that cut the aluminum, but broke very quickly. After more research into feeds and speeds and adding some oil to the surface of the aluminum, I am getting successful cuts without breaking bits!A few things to help get started with the machine! You are probably going to break a lot of bits starting out, so be prepared to budget for this and maybe start with some cheaper endmills before dropping a lot of money on the high end stuff.You will need a spoil board under your project if you are cutting all the way through. You can 3d print something to work if you have access to a 3d printer, or you can use wood. Of using wood, make sure it is flat, or mill it flat after installing.Go slow. The spindle in this machine is mounted with an injection molded plastic part that has a single screw to tighten the spindle into it. This piece will flex with enough resistance and ruin your project if your feeds and speeds are not right.Be patient. This machine is not an industrial machine at all, but rather an intro into the world of CNC milling. There are going to be ways to upgrade it with a better spindle, an offline controller, etc, but try using the machine as is before dumping extra money into upgrades that may not net the results you need.

Definately worth it!
Keeping in mind the size and power limit the work you can do, this is a remarkably solid little unit. More for carving/engraving and some “Light” mill work & routing. I found the assembly easy and had it running within a couple of hours. The software is crap (but I knew that going in) but there is plenty of good, free software out there that make getting started straight forward. More advanced Mill/routing work will have a steeper learning curve but that’s in the CAD/CAM software, not the unit. The unit I got didn’t come with a Z probe or limit switches (I knew that when I ordered) but the driver board is set up to accept them. I recommend adding the, I did. The newer Woodpecker 3.4 control board is not set up to receive an E-stop switch which it should (the older Cronos Maker board was so equiped). I’ll wire mine into the DC Power line. A fair amount of upgrades are available but the base unit, as delivered, is solid. Plenty of You Tube tutorials for this unit are out there, Which I found to be of great help. All in all, Very satisfied.

Good beginner machine
Perfect size for small projects. Bits that come with it are junk, so save yourself the headache and plan on buying better bits. Overall, it’s a very basic machine with barely any safety features. Power isn’t impressive, but it works with very shallow cuts. You get what you pay for, but so far this has been a pretty solid entry-level machine.

Ideal principiante
Va bien para arrancar, si querés algo que corte en profundidad, que no se vaya a trabar porque querés trabajos más grandes, entonces no es esta la máquina para vos. Si para tallado, corte de piezas no tan anchas y trabajos lentos, con paciencia

UPDATED REVIEW : My complete experience buying this 3018
I built this CNC excited to get into machining, here is my experience on this 3018 variant:Pros to buying this CNC:Electronics worked first try20 dollars less than brand nameThe motor polarity was marked (Does not matter, since a DC motor works regardless of +/- configuration)The 3018 is heavily modifiable, you can see in my photo set I have already installed a MDF mounting system, a bit height gauge and more. The modifications are cheap and easy.Cons to buying this CNC:No installation guideThe Z axis was preassembled, but it was assembled wrong: missing the spring to prevent wobble which was not included in my kit. I will be removing this assembly and installing a 500w motor but this is relevant if you plan to stay stock (Picture 4 attached)It comes with one bit set which is cleverly not described since the included bits are mostly useless. The cheap plastic case they were in cracked when I opened it initially (The bits at least did have protective rubber caps on them that I have removed (pictured included bits)).Now maybe my experience was because of a defective unit, so I reached out to the seller. I sent them photos of my unit wobbling and not being plumb because of misshapen aluminum, they asked for a video which I also sent them. After leaving my initial review, the seller has since reached out and made amends to the frame defect I experienced, I appreciate this action on their part, I just wish it was sooner.———————Note: Please excuse my heavy use of grease on all my axis rails and rods, I have this unit in storage while I wait for parts I have ordered, I like to keep things lubricated while they are in storage for extended periods of time. I have also validated measurements on the distance of my axis connection for the X,Y, and Z axis assemblies, all connections are measured in mm’s to .1 via calipers and they are evenly installed, this is not a user to interface issue.

Amazing first CNC router
Amazing first CNC router. It’s just big enough to do gifts and small cutting boards and you’re able to do 3D relief cuts. Customer service is also excellent! When I had a problem they were very quick to help me and fix the problem.

Trabaja de maravilla a la hora de diseñar tarjetas de PCB, si acaso la única recomendación es que el soporte del eje Z tenga el tope adecuado para la tuerca anti retroceso para evitar movimientos que alteren el movimiento del ya mencionado.

Es una muy buena maquina, tiene potencia suficiente para grabar y cortar acrilico. La compre más específicamente para grabar pcb los cuales aun no pruebo pero creo que no dará problemas.No es difícil de ensamblar pero si laborioso y algo tardado. Sugiero engrasar los ejes para que los baleros se desplacen más suave ya que se sienten un poco duros.Igual hay que informarse bien antes de usarla, ya que es un poco enredado generar los gcode y sin un buen conocimiento se pueden romper las brocas.

Es muy buena pero tiene algunos aspectos a considerar.1. El eje “z” al ser de plástico se llega a doblar en algunas ocasiones (al momento de grabar aluminio) o cortar con velocidades altas, esto no pasa al trabajar materiales blandos a una velocidad moderada.2. La bancada (cama) tiene una ligera inclinación de .15 mm hacia la esquina inferior izquierda, esto casi no afecta en los cortes pero se ve reflejado en grabados ya que el grabado queda con diferentes profundidades (muy poco pero visible).3. Al conectar la máquina al software “Grbl Candle” las medidas no son precisas, por ejemplo: al hacer una línea de 100 mm la máquina hace una de 91-93 mm y hay que calibrarla, cosa que no sucede desde el control offline ya que al enviar desde el control offline la precisión es absoluta “sin considerar la inclinación de la bancada” (personalmente solo uso el control offline).4. No tiene límites de carrera y al sobrepasar los límites la máquina se forza y podría romperse o provocar una lesión a la máquina.5. Al adquirí la máquina no viene lubricada perfectamente y hace un chillido lo cual se soluciona con lubricante el cual hay que poner independiente lo cual no es una molestia pero vendría bien que ya llegará lubricada.6. La máquina no se aprovecha al máximo ya que la bancada está muy justa y nunca he aprovechado realmente los 30 cm × 18 cm ya que los soportes que sujetan el material a trabajar ocupan de 1 a 3 cm por lado dependiendo la posición de los mismos el material más grande con el que he podido trabajar es de 26 × 12 cm para sujetarlo correctamente.7. Los sujetadores para la bancada no tiene la cabeza en v- slot por qué son tornillos comunes y no sé sujetan solos y para apretarlos hay que agarrarlos con una mano y con la otra apretar la tuerca de mariposa, esto no es muy cómodo pero los sujetadores con cabeza v- slot son costosos y al ser una máquina barata no podemos pedir mucho.La reseña únicamente es con el sentido de hacer saber a los consumidores los pequeños aspectos desfavorables del producto, está reseña no es patrocinada por nadie.

Muy buena máquina apenas me estoy introducciendo en el mundo cnc y para aprender es perfecta

Resulta que las piezas de acrílico vienen recubiertas con una película protectora GRIS y que esa es la que en las imágenes se ve mal cortada. No me percaté de ello, así que cometí un error; aún así el proveedor tuvo la gentileza de aceptar mi solicitud de cancelación y devolución del pago.Por de pronto acudí al oculista y renové mis lentes para la vista.Saludos
