This is a great starter CNC machine, but it is just a little guy. So I got this machine because I am a hobby starter. I start many hobbies but rarely stick to any one very long; so this was perfect for the budget I allowed myself and I've been pleasantly surprised with its ability. As long as a piece being carved is not wider than a piece of paper is tall you can do alot if you get creative. I've carved dozens of pieces on this machine now and it just keeps on keeping on. I carved a 6 foot long wall ruler once and just had to add a long board as a roller support on one end and break the carved up into 7 parts. Noise level: kinda sounds like a high pitched animal whine most of the time and sound like the bit might break at any point but I have only had the tip break off of one of the bits that came with it so far because I set one of the clamps right in the carved path... Wouldn't recommend carving inside with this thing but great in places such as a garage away from ears that don't appreciate the art process. Ease of assembly: Not hard to assemble in my opinion. Be careful with the direction the supports are facing on the board because if you get those wrong you will decrease your workspace by a lot. Connection to my computer was also pretty simple just using the included instructions. Easel has been my favorite free online software to use when creating designs and running the machine. I recommend getting some larger bits like 1/8in straight cuts and keep the spindle speed up about 8000 rpm, a cut depth of .03in per pass a cut speed of 30in/min and a plunge rate of 9in/min. Those are the settings I use most of the time but recommend doing your research and experimenting to see what works best for you. Overall it is a fun machine that if you are patient with will turn out some great pieces. Review: Pretty fun small mill - So far it's pretty good. It seems like it can cut out full contours... At least from what I could tell in the grbl software when I loaded up some g-code for a half sphere through fusion 360. I need to make some adjustments to the clearance passes though to adjust for max travels. No super critical projects yet completed, but if I can update with one later I will. I agree with others that have mentioned the use of the end stop switches. These would be extremely useful. I purchased the model with the offline controller and very much so like this option. I do want to make note that you cannot (unless I just haven't found out how to do this yet) single pass the g-code like a real CNC mill would allow a machinist to work for prove outs. This would be extremely useful to avoid crashes on initial program operations for something with depth. I won't say it's a completely no brain operation... Someone trying to use this machine would be advised to freshen up on g-code and design unless there are websites out there like thing verse for mini mills. Motors are not too noisy. Assembly is easy. Movements are quick and smooth. Also, since the grbl firmware doesn't seem to have any limits programmed directly into it, you could also upgrade the machine footprint to cut out larger items. ## Features - Model: Upgrade Version 3018-PRO with Offline Controller; Mini CNC machine small size, light weight, USB interface, GRBL control systems, great cnc router machine for beginers; You can operate this machine without connect to the computer; offline controller included a SD card reader to write into the root directory G-code files or NC file; Support manually adjust X, Y, Z axis location as engraving starting point,manually open or close spindle - Working area:300x180x45 mm / 11.8 x 7.1 x 1.8";Frame size: 420x350x270mm / 16.53x13.78x10.63"; Type: USB Port Desktop cnc router ; Spindle: 775 spindle motor 120W 12-36V,10000rpm/24V; Motor: Nema17 Stepper Motor 1.33A,42x42x34mm,0.3N.m,43 oz-in - Upgraded GRBL1.1f Control Board: Added the outer casing,E-stop button port,tool setting probe port,X/Y/Z axis limit port and add the power button switch,and come with the fan port to force heat dissipation,with enhanced spindle drive,can support max 20000rpm spindle,and also can support 12V 3-PIN 0.5W-20W engraver module - Main application: Can be engraved plastic, wood, acrylic, pvc, pcb, wood and the like material.and soft metal like copper and aluminum and other materials; Supporting files: G-code nc/txt/tape/gcode - GRBL Software: Our parcel include 4G USB flash drive,pls download the installation instructions,user manual and GRBL software from the USB flash drive; System requirements: Windows XP SP3,Win 7,Win 8,Win 10 32/64 can be and Linux ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B08CYY35Z9 | | Batteries Included? | No | | Batteries Required? | No | | Best Sellers Rank | #619,272 in Tools & Home Improvement ( See Top 100 in Tools & Home Improvement ) #141 in Power Milling Machines | | Customer Reviews | 4.1 4.1 out of 5 stars (90) | | Date First Available | May 1, 2020 | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item Package Quantity | 1 | | Item Weight | 14.79 pounds | | Item model number | 3018 | | Manufacturer | Changzhou Rattm Motor Co.,Ltd | | Material | Aluminum | | Package Dimensions | 17.4 x 9.72 x 6.81 inches | | Part Number | 3018 | | Power Source | ac/dc | | Style | 3018PRO+Offline controller | ## Images ![Upgrade CNC 3018-PRO 3 Axis DIY Mini CNC Router Kit with GRBL Remote Control Offline Controller PVC PCB Acrylic Plastic Wood Cutting Engraving Carving Milling Machine - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71krflUfTKL.jpg) ![Upgrade CNC 3018-PRO 3 Axis DIY Mini CNC Router Kit with GRBL Remote Control Offline Controller PVC PCB Acrylic Plastic Wood Cutting Engraving Carving Milling Machine - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71mlfy++QOL.jpg) ![Upgrade CNC 3018-PRO 3 Axis DIY Mini CNC Router Kit with GRBL Remote Control Offline Controller PVC PCB Acrylic Plastic Wood Cutting Engraving Carving Milling Machine - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81oEMd5eECL.jpg) ![Upgrade CNC 3018-PRO 3 Axis DIY Mini CNC Router Kit with GRBL Remote Control Offline Controller PVC PCB Acrylic Plastic Wood Cutting Engraving Carving Milling Machine - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71sLZgu1CnL.jpg) ![Upgrade CNC 3018-PRO 3 Axis DIY Mini CNC Router Kit with GRBL Remote Control Offline Controller PVC PCB Acrylic Plastic Wood Cutting Engraving Carving Milling Machine - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71uEAVeD2eL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ She's just a little one! *by M***W on December 28, 2024* Don't get too ambitious!

Assembly was pretty easy, but the operation of the machine itself is definitely Not for novices; the learning curve is more like straight up! It's a shame, that an entry level machine is so poorly user friendly.
