A great beginner CNC- Genmitsu 4040 Pro Max

Testing out the latest release of the 4040 pro from Sainsmart. My very first CNC was the original 4040 pro. This new machine has some really nice upgrades.

For templates that I have made, check out my Etsy shop. I build files for projects and tools for laser engravers as well as CNC project files.

NowI have joined CNC I’ve just
bought this machine that you

six months or so from now possibly 3-D printing.

You have a great channel thank you for all the tips, advice and reviews

Looks like they keep improving it. Good for them. (I mean that in a good way). I like seeing companies trying to make their products better.

Thank you for your review.
I'm looking at the Genmitsu Pro (before that Reno) but have learned that the Z-axis & Router upgrades are required. I better stop watching videos because my budget keeps increasing. 😂

Looks like a nice machine to start with.

Thanks again for your quick review, seems like a very nice and solid machine. Have recently tested a cnc myself from another brand which works great but has V-wheels on the axis, so having actual linair rails and bearings does have benefits over the V-wheels. Does make it more sturdy with less play.
Did use Genmitsu bits though 😆.
Will await your full review..

When you have time, please do a project from VCarve config to sender to project completion. I feel I am missing the feeds and speeds, bit selection, and getting the code to the CNC.

Sainsmart is sending me a unit to play with... Testing with some new exciting cnc software from an "unnamed laser software company"

[newsfan]

Can you do some reviews on the Fox Alien line of CNC

[davidthompson]

Have you tried to put names in wood with it for signs? What type of software do you use on it? Thank you

I have heard that the company has a horrible customer service. What are your thoughts?

Just starting with CNC. I have a 4040 Pro Max on order. Believe Genmitsu said they ship next month. Will be using it to carve small/tiny wood pieces like scrolls and acanthus leaves designs for model ships. I've just started learning the free hobbyist version of Fusion360. Is there a software design program (other than Fusion360) that is easier for a beginner to learn/use to design pieces. You said in the video that I need another software (Mac laptop) to send the design to the 4040? Could you please suggest what I need? Thank you, Rob
