Should I Buy It?
If you are new to CNC machining and laser engraving and are looking for an affordable entry-level kit to learn with, this product could be a suitable investment. However, if you require a machine for professional use or lack the patience to deal with potential mechanical and software setbacks, you may want to consider other options.

I bought this because I wanted to do a STEM project with my grand daughter. She is 12, and basically built the whole thing, with a little guidance. There were only a couple of assembly issues, and the only advice I would give is to attach the stepper motors to the worm drive things before you mount the stepper to the frame. A small amount of spray ptfe lube and it quieted a lot. The software that comes with it is fine, and free, and I couldn't make it work. It connected and all that, but it seemed to send the head off into the hinterlands. After looking online, I decided to get a 30 day trial of something called lightburn. I couldn't get that to reliably talk to the laser burner until I watched the intro video... It uses the USB-serial connection to talk to the burner and then immediately forgets the interface it used to talk to the device. My point is that something like this is half software and half hardware, and I'm not just talking about the internal software on the GRBL board. First thing I tried burning was some typing paper. Guess what? This is a visible light laser. The blue light reflects off of the white paper. Keep dumping heat into the white paper? Well, eventually it will char just a little, and that causes a cascade effect, and suddenly you have a larger than expected area of charred paper. Burning brown craft paper (as in a cardboard box section) gives you a crisp set of lines that look nice and crisp. I was able to run the laser at around 500mm/minute, and 70% power to get good crisp lines on craft paper. I have yet to try the wood carving mode. I have also not tried the offline controller. One thing you need to understand is that this is all standard parts. Standard GRBL board, standard software, standard stepper motors. It is a decent kit. It is not hard to put together, all the tools work. But it won't be able to do what a multi-thousand dollar rig will. It is fairly stiff, the black parts are decent machined plywood, bearings are pressed in, and we never felt like we were fighting the kit to get it built. There were enough screws, and a couple extra.

This kit is a great way to get started in CNC machining. I had low expectations but the machine was easy to assemble and has run many hours trouble-free. The primary downside for me is that the 3-D printed Z-axis wobbles as it moves up and down the lead screw, up to 0.007". This is problematic for small tools and means that you'll never get better accuracy than that on machined features. But considering the price and target audience, this is minor. The spindle is quiet with little runout, at least until you try to cut something. Then, depending on your material and cutting parameters, the entire unit screams like a banshee and threatens to shake itself apart. I like to joke that most of the 20 watts of spindle power is turned into sound energy. This isn't a dig at the unit; all machines in this class will have similar problems. Just keep the frame screws tightened because they will work themselves loose. Finishing with small endpoints works really well. A spindle upgrade will be needed for serious material removal. The included endmills are not great. I have found that roughing with a ball works best with very conservative step-downs. Figure out how to handle dust because you'll be making a lot of it. Software is extremely important to CNC. You'll need a package that gives you good control over cutting strategies and parameters. You'll need to get good at experimenting with them since you'll be cutting at the very edge of the machine's capabilities. I would recommend this kit to anyone looking for entry into CNC. Just be warned that if you have a hobby you think can make use of it, you're probably just acquiring a second one.

Just a fancy wood burning set. But a grate way to learn Cnc laser and mill.

This little guy was super easy to put together, but the instructions are quite terse. There's no information on how to turn the laser on and off and there was no hardware for mounting the little laser breakout controller box. But that's not the real problem. The real problem is that the motor provided can't handle the load of the Y axis (the bed). I've meticulously aligned all the linear bearings and the drive nut. There is no binding happening, but the Y axis motor will randomly skip steps which makes the whole device useless. Stay away!

This is a great tool for small work. I'm happy I have it, even though it was the wrong choice for my initial purpose. But that's my fault not any fault of the mini-mill. I used to do service work on CNC mills and lathes so when it came to me setting this mini-mill up I understood what went where pretty quick. I since have added a touch of serviceable thread lock on all the frame screws. The Z axis drive screw to motor coupler is also a tricky one to get tight. (Check that on yours) I would be all five stars on this mini-mill except finding a "Good" CAM software for the 3 axis router option that isn't more expensive than the mill is... is not possible. But I know enough about writing G-Code and using offsets for tool diameter to make it cut where I want. It's easy to learn about that stuff, but it's easier and less time consuming when a computer figures out the tool path for you... I've made some cool things, in my own opinion. Overall it seems to be very accurate. The laser is all 5 stars. It has its own software where you can just open a pic, select a few easy to understand options, set zero on your part, and press go. It can burn on wood, plastic, and leather with impressive accuracy. I found it can also burn through (some brands of) adheisive vinyl without burning the paper backing, making it a vinyl cutter for decals and signage. Bonus!

The engraver is hard to control depths and the laser doesn't have software that it needs.
