Review: Trust yourself and get this - I was just like you, reading reviews and contemplating if I should meander in to the world of CNC machines, a world that I know nothing about. If you're searching for these machines, you're already interested - so the only thing I can tell you is - get it. I have basic knowledge when it comes to electronics/hardware/software, if you're completely new to these things, the setup and usage may be slightly intimidating, but it IS easy enough that anyone can do it by following basic instructions. Like most mention - instruction manuals aren't the easiest to understand (for anything) but there are a ton of user videos all across the interwebs showing you how to set up/run the 3018. (seriously, if you need to learn anything, ever, about anything, ever, just YouTube or TikTok that ish) Out of box - I was a bit anxious. Any time you're opening a package that has hundreds of tiny parts it can seem like an uphill battle. If you dedicate a half hour or so of watching a set up video (all the way through), then setting it up while watching it again, it makes this set up a breeze. I had mine completed in about an hour, and after a minor issue was up and running. The V Bits that come with the machine are what I use most for cutting out designs. I also purchased some straight bits to use which, to me, are necessary if you're cutting out large pockets of material. As far as while this machine is running, people have mentioned noise quite often in reviews. I did not find the noise to be overwhelming. I have the 3018 set up in a room inside my house, and with the door shut, it doesn't disturb us at all. I use a Mac currently. I hate it, I was born and raised on a PC. So far I have found that Easel (it's a free application from inventables) is the easiest and most user friendly application to send G-Code, or your designs, to the machine. It's also incredibly user friendly for creating new designs for your 3018 if you're less than a novice and don't use any number of graphic suites (inkscape, illustrator, photoshop) along with Fusion 360 to create toolpaths for your designs. Windows users have a ton of more options to utilize your machine while connected to a computer, or you can upload your codes to the controller that comes with the machine to create your projects. I have used the 3018 quite often in the month I have had it. As always, there is trial and error involved. There is a learning curve when it comes to types materials to cut/carve at what speeds, and what types of bits to use. As you try a few projects here and there, you'll get much more comfortable about what to cut, and how to cut it. You can research and read about spindle speeds/materials/bits as much as you want, but you'll inevitably learn more from trial and error after having that basic knowledge from your prior research. So far I have mainly used MDF for my projects, though when attempting to use it on acrylic and copper, I can see the vast potential this machine has. CUSTOMER SERVICE for this product awesome. I had an minor issue during set up, and I was sent a replacement part incredibly quick. I was up and running the same week I received the machine. I have seen reviews complaining, but my experience reflects all of the glowing reviews about the help I received. This isn't a plug and play machine. You have to set it up. You have to learn it. At the price point, and with the capabilities this machine has - it is the PERFECT starter machine to get into the world of CNCs. All I can say is that you won't regret this if you try it. I'll upgrade the bed of the machine for larger projects, and eventually invest in the laser module to play with that as well. I would definitely recommend this machine and I would buy it again.
Review: Insane value for the money. - The 3018 router is neither a production machine nor a toy. It is a solid hobbyist tool that is capable of producing excellent results. Assembly is straight forward with an excellent pictorial guide. Expect to put it together in an hour to a few hours depending on your experience. The unit is well designed and constructed. Tolerances are tight and there is no flex in the frame. The travel along the x and y axes measured precisely to spec out of the box. The kit comes with everything you need to get started including some bits and a disk with software. A word on software: Some reviews criticize the machine based on "software". The fact is that the firmware (the code that lives inside the controller board) is a recent version of GRBL, an open source program that is behind the vast majority of desktop routers. Every CAM program you are likely to use supports GRBL, so you will have access to a plethora of design tools to create your projects. Keep in mind that CNC is a 3 step process: 1) design the piece in CAD and export to DXF 2D format; 2) use CAM software to prepare G code by providing information on the bit, depth and order of cuts, and travel and rotation speed of the bit; 3) send the G code to the router with G code sender software. Don't be confused by the fact that some applications can combine 2 or even 3 of these steps. Like with 3D printing, it is very gratifying to start with an idea and develop it into a physical object. If you have the maker mentality this machine will provide great enjoyment and utility. UPDATE: My controller board stopped working--a very common occurrence for desktop routers due to the heat the motor drivers generate. I sent an email to Sainsmart describing the problem and within a few days they had a new board in the mail to me. After I received the board, their representative even followed up with me to make sure everything was working. This is the kind of customer service you love to have, and so rarely get. Even if you pay a few dollars more to buy from Sainsmart, it's well worth it. They will stand by their products.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great for what it is!
*by J***N on December 7, 2019*

I have spent over 10 years in the CNC router world (building, servicing, installing, training, and running) so this little Sainsmart router kit was not my first rodeo. Here are my impressions: Packaging: Very nice, everything custom fit in foam and a nice box. For the price I was expecting everything thrown in a bag, so this was a good touch. Build quality: I was honestly pleasantly surprised by the quality of the components in this kit. The aluminum extrusions were cut cleanly and tapped properly, though be prepared to do a bit of cleaning; my extrusions were covered in cutting oil and metal shavings and I had to blow them out after wiping them down. I expected the plastic components to be cheap 3d printed parts but they are actually some sort of fairly tough cast resin. The uprights and the sides of the machine are made out of phenolic resin sheets (the instructions call it bakelite) and were cut well. The only thing that seemed to be poor quality were the fasteners and the included hex keys (more on that later). Assembly: Overall, the instruction booklet makes the assembly pretty clear and with a kit this simple there just isn't a whole lot that can go wrong. However, there are a few issues. The first is the aforementioned hex keys: throw them out and grab some decent ones, at least for the small screws. Mine were slightly undersized and I could not tighten down the set screws for the motor couplings at all. Luckily, I have piles of hex keys all over the house so I found a set that worked a little better. The next part is more important, so I'm giving it a couple carriage returns so it stands out: BUILD IT ON SOMETHING FLAT! There is enough play in the machine that you could easily get everything bound up or just have poor accuracy due to the machine being out of square. I used a granite surface block, but not everyone has one of those lying around so at least make sure you're using a flat table. Make sure everything is as flat and square as you can make it. Also, leave the screws for the guide rods slightly loose as you move the machine around, then tighten them incrementally so they don't bind. I did run into a couple assembly issues with my spindle, the first being that it really wasn't a good fit in the actual block. The spindle was too big for the hole and some prying ensued before it would fit. Once I had it mounted, I noticed that the motor didn't have a marking for which side should have the red wire. With a DC motor like this, it isn't a huge issue; if it's spinning the correct way, it's wired right. If it's spinning the other way, you have it backwards. "Correct" in this case means the bit spins clockwise when looking down from the top. Easy way to visualize this is to make a "thumbs up" with your left hand. See the way your fingers are curved? That's the way the bit should spin. Electronics & Software: Everything was plug and play on the electronics part. I liked that cable ties were included so I could keep the wires tidy. I would have appreciated having different size motor cables for each stepper but at least none of them were too short. The circuit board seems well built and was pre-flashed with the correct firmware. All you have to do is install the driver and then open up the software (the Candle GRBL controller software) and set it to the same serial port you see in your device manager. Once that's set up, it's easy to control and send files to. The visualization is a nice touch. All in all, I'd recommend this for anybody looking to get started in CNC routing and doesn't mind the small build volume and anemic spindle. You have to go low and slow with it but it will cut and the machine has good bones if you wanted to start upgrading it down the line. Well worth the ~$200.
