Hey guys.
I thought i would do you guys a reveiw and my findings of the SM-3040 CNC machine.
This is going to be my first OWNED cnc (but not the first i have used).
I will do this in several steps
- Pre-reveiw
- Machine out of the box reveiw
- First Run Reveiw
- How its been in the long run Reveiw
Pre Reveiw:
I have ordered my machine it is the SM variant of the CNC 3040, which has marginally better specs than most.
It is running 20mm rails and 16mm ball screws, 2.5amp steppers and a 1.5KW spindle(watercooled)
It has an offset gantry to make full use of the bed and extra supports, it also comes with a 4axis driver board.
The machine comes powdercoated to stop oxidization from the factory.
The machine cost was a total of £880 delivered, (plus import tax)
So far customer service has been quite good via MSN & E-Mail and whats nice is the sales lady speaks very good english too! (which isn't very common for most cheap exporting chinese companies).
I will leave it at this for now and update as i need required.
