My first CNC router- Genmitsu 4040 pro

After months of wanting to try out my skills with a router CNC, I finally get to try one. Sainsmart sent me this small framed CNC to test and hone my skills. This will be an adventure and I expect a learning curve.

Day 1- Unboxing and assembly

First I want to thank you for all you great videos, myself I started with a CNC router and love it, I just got an xtool laser today . You were my inspiration for my decision to get one and I'm looking forward to learning with it and I'm sure I will look back at alot of your content during my journey. Keep up the great videos.

Most awesome! I have been following the channel for a few months. You are super inspirational in all you do. Just floating the idea out there cause you also keep bees but you could make you some killer custom langstroth hives with that CNC and laser combo! Thanks for what you do teaching us all! Happy Independence Week!

you will love the cnc router and it goes well with the lasers. I started with Next Wave cnc about the same size as the one you have and a 2 watt laser model addon. Now I use the 20 w xtool. Just as lightburn is the go to software for laser, Vectric is the go to software for cnc router. I use dewalt routers for my router table, but use makita for my cnc. Many of my projects are cut on cnc router and engraved on laser. Check with Next Wave, they might give you one for a you tube review. Enjoy!!

Great Video. Love the Flag Bro!! Thanks

That looks like it could be fun I have always wanted one but just ungraded from a 5.5 W laser to a 20 W xTool Pro so I have to get that payed off first LOL I have always wanted to do some 3D cabinet doors along with a few other projects I know you will have fun when you learn it and will have a lot of projects for you craft booth

Getting into CNC is a whole other world than the lasers you have used thus far. Hit me up if you have questions.

Mark Lindsay has wonderful you tube videos for cnc routers and Kyle Ely does also

[johnwilliams]

Hey brother are you still enjoying that Genmitsu 4040?, I'm considering getting one, hard to beat that price

[billlester]

Clack, when positioning the spindle in position to cut a project, given the bit diameter, is the center of the bit line up on o, o of the work piece or the circumference of the bit?, also have you determined what the two m3 holes are for on back of 4040 offline controller. Thank you.

Once you’ve outgrown this CNC seriously look at the cnc4n new carve
