My new 6040 improvement plan.

I get that, however, as it's often repeated on this forum- not all China cnc are the same. Much of the reputation was for poor electronics was from early controller boards and VFD etc. I was very careful to get one with a newer controller (HC4-IV), decent steppers and a good spindle. There's nothing inherently wrong with the table and gantry design.

I know my way around electronics, so I wasn't bothered about doing some extra work to improve it. Even without the improvements, it hasn't glitches on me yet. It's done everything I've asked of it perfectly well.

At £1800 it's not the cheapest out there- I certainly wasn't going to spend £10k+

Plenty of people making really cool stuff with 6040's.
