Genmitsu CNC-Machine PROVerXL 6050 Plus for Metal Wood Acrylic, 3 Axis CNC Engraver with MDF Carving, GRBL Control, Hybrid Table, Working Area 600x500x115mm

The media could not be loaded. This machine is absolutely brilliant. At first it was way over my head. I’d just retired and this was something I’ve always wanted to get in to. So I spent £1700 on the 6050, what an amazing machine. I had a few teething problems at first but the team at the end of the email couldn’t do enough. They sent out a new mother board when I and them couldnt get the “X” and “Y” to run properly. Being new to it all and only watching you tube videos it took time to understand how it worked, grbl was an alien language. I even bought a new trim router before it arrived, but the spindle it comes with is more than adequate. As it says by its title, it’s big. The working area is 60cm X 50cm but you can add on another 20 cm on the side to accommodate clearance. It’s noisy when using large bits (6mm end mill) and I have housed it in a Perspex cabinet in my garage to try to quieten it down. But overall I love it, it’s a great machine.

After spending £1500 on this item, its main board decided it didn’t want to work after 3 weeks! Yes, 3 weeks! The manufacturer was unhelpful and that’s being polite. The instruction manual is flawed in so many ways, but the connectors between the motors and the drive system aren’t even mentioned in the manual and yet they drive the gantry to make it work! Ridiculous in the extreme. Sainsmart wanted to have me wait 4 weeks for a replacement to fit myself, I’m not an electronics engineer, that’s their responsibility not mine. All in all I was going buy the same one again, but Sainsmart showed zero interest in the issue being resolved to MY satisfaction.
