These types of cutter are designed for milling wood, which is what this machine should be used for. This set, shown below, from the same company, Genmitsu, would be perfect to get started with, they have the same shank diameter as the provided ER collet. So before I even begin this review I will advise that if you buy this machine you will need some better tooling. These types of cutters are not designed for conventional machining operations. It is sold as an ‘engraving machine’, which is sort of like a disclaimer because it is not a particularly capable machine, don’t expect to be machining any type of metal with it.īut I would consider it to be a small cnc router for woodworking and general craft projects like my ER Collet racks.Ī small box of engraving ‘bits’ are included that have a 20 degree inclusive angle, which are totally useless for anything other than engraving lettering. The 3018 pro is a Chinese made kit that is produced under different manufacturing names, but they all appear to originate from the same factory.

The machine I bought to review is the Genmitsu cnc 3018 pro sold on Amazon.
