I wouldn't go with a 3040. I've a 6040 and, while I've had a lot of fun with the machine, I'm finding it way too small. The wiring on mine, despite its lack of shielding, was quite well done - although I had a loose wire that caused a problem when I first got the machine. Had a few mechanical problems with the machine - but I put that down to general wear and tear after a few years of hammer. Overall though, the CNC has performed pretty good and, having paid for itself, I could consider it good value for money. Having said that, if I knew I could have got a much better machine built for a few hundred quid more than what I paid, I'd have waited and got one of the guys on this forum to build me one. Would have been much better in the long run.

Mine shipped from China to Germany, then to the UK. Didn't have to pay duties because it went through Europe.
