3018-PRO CNC Router GRBL Engraving Machine w/Limit Switch/eStop | 3-Axis DIY USB Mini Desktop Engraver Milling Machine, 120W PWM Spindle 10000 RPM For Plastic, Acrylic, PVC,PCB,Wood Cutting

This is my second 3018. My first was a slightly different design and I could never get it dialed in. I decided to try this one which looked to have a simpler and more robust design. I primarily use it to machine dense foam for metal casting and it works wonderfully for this task. I believe if you go slow enough you could do wood as well. The only upgrade I have done so far besides new bits is adding an offline controller.Overall- this is a great entry level CNC to learn techniques and decide if this is a hobby for you. If you expect to be milling spaceship-tolerance parts out of titanium you are likely to be disappointed. Great little machine for what it is, and an inexpensive way to dip your toe into the CNC machining hobby.

I bought this little machine as a entry level machine to provide a review/product testing prior to a local homeschooling group purchasing a few for classes. Machine went together super easy with easy to follow instructions. After about 6 uses with light passes the control board started smoking and now unfortunately the machine no longer works.I bought the machine back in April 2024 but was unable to find the time to get it together and tested until October. Now I'm a little outside of the window for replacement or return. I'm not sure if the control board burning up is a localized incident or if others have encountered the same problem but as of now I can not recommend this product to the homeschooling group or to anyone else for that matter.In full transparency I have not reached out to Amazon or the seller for resolution due to being outside of any return or warranty window.

i given this 5 stars cause you get what you payed for. i wonted a small cnc for small parts. i got a big cnc but it is used for big items. this is not so bad. not very strong. but easy to upgrade. but if your new and wont to learn gcode and see if this is going to work for you with out paying 1000s then yea its a good cnc.i use this for making gears and small brackets nothing more. so i was not really trying to spend a lot.i upgraded the motor got new bitsconsmotor is only good besides for doing wood.the rod bearings or grindyit comes with 3 relay switchs you need 5. for safty. but can run off 3

The limit switch cords are a pain. It just wasn’t as good as I expected it to be. Disappointed in the machine

This has the best assembly instructions, best add on accessories like limit switches and emergency stop and how to connect them all to the Woodpecker board. I bought mine form another seller, wish I would seen this first.

Very disappointed

Tiene su curva de aprendizaje, pero muy buena la cnc, algo que yo cambiaría inmediatamente después de adquirirla sería sus acoples. Este modelo viene con acoples rígidos, cambialos inmediatamente por unos acoples flexibles y todo irá de maravilla. Lo ocupo para grabado láser y para hacer pcbs es baquelita, y todo funcionó correctamente.

apenas me llego , al verificar las piezas creo se les olvido hacer las perforaciones para montar el motor a la placa A, las que se ven no corresponden a nada.

el router llego bien empacado y en buen estado, hay que limpiarlo y retirar rebabas antes de armarlo. El manual es bueno para el ensamble general pero no para la electrónica de los limit switchs, tiene capacidad para 6 pero solo incluyen 3.Instale el software de acuerdo a las instrucciones, conecte el router a la PC y encendió la luz roja,en la tablilla de control y ya que estableció conexión prendió una luz azul junto a la roja, energice la tablilla y no prendió ninguna luz.Active el "spindle" en la PC y enciende una luz en la tablilla, pero no gira ni hace ruido, aunque en la pantalla si se ve movimiento.Intente mover en los ejes "X" y "Y" y en la pantalla si se mueven pero en el router no hay ningún movimiento.Repetí la operación varias veces, incluso descargue el programa Candle 1.17 pero la situación es la misma.Conclusión no funciona, gaste en vano, creí que porque venia de AMAZON USA seria confiable pero no es asi.Otro producto chino de buena apariencia pero no funciona.
