Genmitsu PROVerXL 4030 V2 CNC Router Machine with Closed-Loop Stepper Motor | Closed-Loop NEMA 23 Motors, 400W Spindle for Wood, Metal, Acrylic, PCB & MDF, 400 x 300 x 110mm Work Area

I spent weeks going through all the CNC manufacturers on the net and Amazon (of course). With so many to choose from, it was an exhausting process. Luckily, I was able to find the Genmitsu 4030 V2 and ordered it. It arrived in just 2 days (Amazon, of course) and I was anxious to get it up and printing. It took less than an hour to unpack and assemble - it comes partially assembled. I am amazed at the construction - every part is cut and milled to perfection. The directions were easy to follow - even the cabling was well marked and there were pictures, a good thing. I do much better when there are pictures. I spoke to several users who had various different CNC machines and received a lot of feedback on what I needed, as a new CNC user. I wanted a midsize unit, with enough creative space and a good starting path. Ultimately, that led me to the Genmitsu PROVerXL 4030 V2. It is large enough for my use and can also be expanded when I am ready for a larger unit. Software: I had been researching the various vendors to see what software is used on a PC for direct connection. Genmitsu had it covered. The directions were easy to follow and took me about 20 minutes to install and my PC was directly connected. No copying files to a memory stick. Just design and send. You can also use remote access on your cell phone. Not sure that will ever be needed, but it's there. I have also found other software that work with CNCs - my current trial is with Easel (free for 30 days). There is also Fusion 360 and Vectric which I will also be trialing. I am also impressed with the support - I had several questions to ask and I got immediate responses from Jamie. This was a HUGE plus for me. I've been very impressed with the quality of the machine and the support - those are the two main reasons I purchased the Genmitsu. The machine also does metal , acrylic, MDF Almost forgot - the machine does laser engraving. Something I will be delving into as a side use. Having fun and creating things - what better time spent? ENJOY

This machine is very well built and has lots of beneficial upgrades, including closed-loop stepper motors. I did have the control board fail early on, but their tech support is very good and sent out a replacement board that arrived within a week. I did have a couple of other operator errors at the beginning, but have worked out those issues and it's working great. (I am fortunate that I have a nephew who installs industrial grade CNC machines for wood shops. I've bugged him quite a bit!) I have been using lasers, 3D printers and vinyl cutters for the past few years and have no problem operating those machines. The CNC is a little bit off the "easy-consumer mode" beaten path. You will need to learn a few things. There are great forums and facebook groups out there that are worth gleaning information from before purchase. I don't think you are going to find the value that this machine offers anywhere near this price point. Add to that the upgradability in size and spindles and you can't go wrong.

In January I purchased the Genmitsu 4030 V2 with the extension to make it 6060. So far it is a great machine. I am trying to learn the software while trying to make sure the machine is working as it should. So far it is great and I have used it every day since I received it. Setup was easy. The box it all came in was great. It was well packed. So far I couldn't be happier. It is very solid. It has ball screws so it should last a long time. The step motors are very powerful. It is everything as described. I did have two issues. 1. the controller box had a couple of loose wire connections. I brought them to the attention of the Tech people at Sainsmart and withing hours they had shipped me a replacement. No cost or hassle. 2. I purchased the Genmitsu 1.25 router with the machine. After a couple of hours it started arcing inside and stopped. Again I notified customer service and after sending them my invoice a new one was in the mail. This was the router - not the machine. I'm new to CNC but this has been a great experience so far. I learn something new everyday and there are user groups that can help if you have a problem. If you are on the fence about this machine - don't be. It has treated me well and I expect it to continue to do so. I did a lot of comparison shopping and this soon became my top choice.

I received this today and was eager to get it assembled and up and running. I took my time during the assembly and followed all the instructions that were provided. While there were some glaring omissions in the assembly manual it was not hard to figure out what each steps purpose was and I got the unit ready for its first power up. I plugged it in, and watched as the lights around the buttons pulsated, the fan ramped up and spooled down. I was not sure if this was normal or part of the initial start up. It was the smell of burnt electronics that gave it away, this was not normal and there was a defective component somewhere. I shut it off, double checked all the connections, and went about tracking down the smell. It turns out the Y2 stepper motor was ripping hot and was the source of the offending "magic smoke" smell. If I unplugged that motor the controller booted up fine, the lights were solid and the fan steady. If I plugged the Y2 cables into the Y1 motor the same results were achieved. This means that the Y2 motor is defective. This is a brand new unit. This is an out of the box failure and really highlights a failure in the quality control system where these are built. It is going back into the box and being returned. I have no need for a piece of equipment that has a zero hour failure that is so easy to test and detect when it was made and put into the box. There are many other CNC machines of this size out there and for me this is a sign of a future plagued with early failures and issues. Have to give it at least one star because Amazon does not allow anything under 1 star.

The product is high quality however I have had a couple issues in start up. One of the four stepper motors was defective and the spindle had a couple non-critical but still poor quality issues. However SAinSmart has been very responsive in solving any issues that I ahve and I am currently very happy with the performance of the tool.

I received the product and it went together nicely. I cut my first part the same day. A week later I started to work with it and I found when I get to around one inch from the end of travel on the right the closed loop controller starts to vibrate. I tried to fix it for a while. The controller is hunting and not able to lock into a position because the X screw has a lot of slop at that end. It has been about a week since contacting support. It takes a full business day for every response. They have been giving me the run around. Starting with them not being able to find my order, then asking for videos to show them what is wrong. And them telling me to try x, wait a day, then y wait a day, now z wait a day. Since each exchange takes a full business day for them to respond and caused me to go outside of Amazon's return window. I even asked them to just sell me the ball screw and that request was ignored. They don't appear to sell repair parts. I can't find a BOM which will make buying a compatible ball screw difficult. Unless the device is perfect right out of the box you are going to be down for a long time waiting for your 1 year warranty repair part and I imagine when you are out of warranty you may be forced to find suitable repair parts on your own from other vendors. -------------------------------------- Update----------------------------- I must have caught them during a holiday in their country. The week after I left the review they started to respond pretty quickly. They explained that they had part shortages. But they said they'd replace the ball screw in two weeks and it arrived in one week. The machine itself is very easy to work with and modify. The repair part was easy to install and the slop/hunting is gone.

Sainsmart Genmitsu is one of the largest players in CNC and this area of devices, but it's not been an easy of fun experience so far despite effort on my side and good support from their support team. It's a big investment for a home user and it takes up some hard to find space, so it has to be functional, and after 2 months and 3 major issues, it's been out of service waiting for repair parts from China for more time that i've had it available to use. As soon as i've had a day or two to progress a project, it's failed again, and so if i could have returned it, i would. Waiting for their replacement parts to arrive caused me to miss their return window. Frustrating to say the least. So what failed: - 1st was a microswitch for the z-axis limit. Had to be replaced, but the issue was a broken cable which i replaced and diagnosed myself. Delay 2 weeks. - 2nd was the control board seeming to make random axis movements on the X-axis. That was never resolved, but after replugging and plugging the connectors it 'seemed' to go away. - 3rd was the spindle run-out which was way out of spec >1mm. This issue made a racket and made all your tools cut a larger cut than you'd like. - 4th was a new controller board needed as the z-axis gets a signal to dive down with any input to the control board, even when you try to do a $$ GRBL settings listing. I expect after 4 failures, that it's not the end of the journey sadly. When you add 2-3 weeks shipping from China for all replacements, you can see why it's been gathering dust more than generating dust. I have yet to dare to try harder materials than wood. As a note, i have been using 3D printers from Prusa for 3 years without anything like these types of issues. My view today is that CNC, and certainly those products from Sainsmart Genmitsu are just not stable enough to be called a tool yet. They're a tinkerers project, but not ready to be a workhorse to make things.

Loving the mill, works excellently, super easy to mill 1/8" Aluminum with 1/8" mill bit at 200mm/min 0.35mm depth and 2.5 on a DeWalt Router. I had an issue with the 400w spindle with came bent and Sainsmart shipped me a new one within 24 hours. Not loving candle, it makes z-probe more complex than it needs to be - candle also causes machine to spontaneously home after triggering the limit switches. (5 stars as my Candle issues are not Genmitsu issues)

Bonjour, Après 1 mois je donne enfin mon avis. C'est une très bonne machine, elle est précise, rigide et robuste, la répétabilité est très bonne. Le montage est vraiment simplifié, comptez au max 1 heure en prenant le café. Comparé à ma Aureus elle est relativement silencieuse, après cela reste une fraiseuse à cadre. La seule modification que j'y ai apporté pour le moment c'est une modification de la valeur grbl $23=0 pour pouvoir faire mon origine X0 et Y0 en bas à gauche (comme toutes mes machines). Le seul point a reproché vient de la broche qui à une vitesse assez basse aux vues des performances générales. Une broche d'origine en 20 000 tr/min réglable aurais été plus logique. A voir dans le temps mais sinon que ce soit les équipements, le boîtier de contrôle, les fraises fournies tout est nickel.

Als begeisterter Hobby-Handwerker und Bastler war ich schon lange auf der Suche nach einer CNC-Fräse, die nicht nur einfach im Aufbau ist, sondern auch präzise und zuverlässig arbeitet. Meine Suche fand ein glückliches Ende, als ich auf die ProverXL 4030 V2 stieß. Der Aufbau dieser CNC-Fräse war ein Kinderspiel. Dank der gut durchdachten Anleitung und der präzisen Fertigung der Bauteile konnte ich das Gerät in kürzester Zeit zusammenbauen. Auch für weniger erfahrene Nutzer dürfte der Zusammenbau keine große Hürde darstellen. Was mich jedoch wirklich beeindruckt hat, ist die Präzision und Wiederholgenauigkeit dieser Fräse. Egal, ob es darum geht, feine Details in Holz zu fräsen oder komplexe Formen zu bearbeiten, das Ergebnis ist stets makellos, hochwertige Fräser vorausgesetzt. Ein weiterer Pluspunkt ist der ausgezeichnete Support des Herstellers. Bei Fragen oder Problemen steht das Team jederzeit schnell und unkompliziert zur Verfügung. Diese Kundenorientierung habe ich selten erlebt und sie trägt maßgeblich dazu bei, dass ich die ProverXL 4030 V2 uneingeschränkt empfehlen kann. Zur Erstellung der CNC-Programme nutze ich Estlcam (kostenpflichtig, aber jeden Cent wert), welches eine Vielzahl von Funktionen und Einstellungsmöglichkeiten bietet, sodass ich meine Projekte schnell und einfach umsetzen kann. Dabei ist es egal, ob es sich um 2D Konturen handelt, oder um dreidimensionale Arbeiten wie z.B. ein Relief. Die Bedienung der Fräse erfolgt dann über Candle. Die Software ermöglicht eine intuitive Steuerung der Maschine und ermöglicht stets die volle Kontrolle über den Fräsvorgang und bei Bedarf kann ich auch während des Betriebs Anpassungen vornehmen. Wenn ich mehrere Werkzeuge für ein Projekt verwende, erstelle ich entweder separate Programme für jedes Werkzeug oder teile das Programm anschließend in mehrere auf. Dieser Prozess gestaltet sich dank der einfachen Handhabung von Estlcam und der Möglichkeit, das Programm im Windows Editor zu bearbeiten, recht unkompliziert. Insgesamt bin ich mehr als zufrieden mit meiner Wahl. Wer auf der Suche nach einer präzisen, zuverlässigen und einfach zu bedienenden CNC-Fräse ist, sollte diese definitiv in Betracht ziehen.

Assistenza e sostituzione pezzo difettoso in modo rapido ed efficiente.

Llevo cerca de 3 semanas usandola y no puedo estar mas contento. Antes tenia una 3018 asi que el salto es bastante grande, pero los programas que se usan son los mismos, asi que es una cuestion de tamaño. Esta tiene limites en los extremos, de manera que aunque te pases del tamaño diseñando, la maquina nunca va a sobrepasar sus limites exteriores, lo cual es bueno porque evitas forzar los motores como me pasaba con la anterior que intentaba ir mas alla de sus limites. La precision es excelente. Lo he probado moviendo la maquina en todas direcciones medidas fijas y luego volviendo al punto inicial exacto. Es mucho mas rapida que la anterior que tenia, pudiendo ir a 5000mm/min, lo cual en maderas blandas es una maravilla, ya que se come la madera a mucha mas velocidad que la anterior. En maderas duras, no he pasado de 3000mm/min ya que aunque puede, tampoco quiero forzar la maquina. A la hora de montarla, no te lleva mas de 15 minutos, ya que viene parcialmente montada y solo tienes que añadir las piezas que faltan y conectar los cables. Las instrucciones son super claras y muy detalladas. La unica pega que he tenido es que en el movimiento a lo largo del eje X, hace un ruido que no hace en el resto de los ejes, pero tras contactar con Sainsmart, y tras mandarles un par de videos que me pidieron, me han mandado unas piezas para reemplazar que son las que estaban produciendo el ruido. Sobre el producto de atencion al cliente, decir que son de lo mejor que he visto, ya que siempre estan dispuestos a ayudar. Solo hay que tener en cuenta que estan en china, con lo que las comunicaciones pueden ir un poco lentas por la diferencia horaria, pero en mi caso, en un par de dias me lo solucionaron. Incluye un acople para poder montar una fresadora de mayor potencia que el motor que trae (300w) y aunque no la he usado aun, es algo que tengo pensado para el futuro asi como ampliar la superficie de la CNC a la opcion de 1010 En resumen, decir que es una maquina super estable, resistente, precisa y muy facil de montar y usar. Recomendada para cualquiera que se iniciara en este mundo con maquinas mas pequeñas

Tijdens Black Friday 2023 heb ik besloten deze CNC-frees, de Genmitsu ProverXL 4030 V2, aan te schaffen. Na een weloverwogen zoektocht en het bekijken van veel reviews voor SainSmart gekozen. De informatie die ik had vergaard, gaf voldoende vertrouwen voor de aankoop. Na exact een week kwam de frees binnen en kon het in elkaar zetten beginnen. Dat was een redelijk eenvoudige klus. Ik ben vrij handig en de handleiding is eigenlijk ook niet verkeerd, hoewel hier en daar wellicht iets meer duidelijkheid op zijn plaats zou zijn. Maar dit zijn details. De assemblage was snel voor elkaar. (lees: anderhalf uur) Helaas trad toen het probleem op dat mijn Z-steppermotor problemen vertoonde. Hij deed het soms wel en soms niet en er knipperde een rood lampje dat aangaf dat er een storing was. Veel geprobeerd en getest maar het probleem was niet op te lossen. Dus dan maar contact opnemen met customer support van SainSmart. En heel eerlijk?? Dan baal je en hoop je maar dat het allemaal goed komt. Maar wat een verademing was dat. Een supersnelle reactie en perfect te woord gestaan door Bettina. Na wat uitvragen van wat er precies aan de hand is, zou mij een nieuwe motor worden toegestuurd. Op maandag in gesprek en op vrijdag had ik de nieuwe Z-motor al. Vanuit China naar Europa. Na ontvangst van de motor kreeg ik zelfs nog een mail of het allemaal gelukt was. SUPER!!! Echt helemaal top. Inmiddels geïnstalleerd en de frees werkt nu perfect. Je leert een organisatie vaak pas goed kennen als er iets niet goed gaat. SainSmart heeft een topservice en dat geeft vertrouwen. Daar kan mening bedrijf een voorbeeld aan nemen. En de CNC? Dat is een mooie en compacte frees die solide aanvoelt. Mijn eerste frees en waar ik hopelijk nog veel plezier aan ga beleven. Maar de complimenten zijn voor SainSmart!
