Genmitsu 4040-PRO CNC Router vs Genmitsu 3018-PROVer V2 CNC Router

Buy the 4040-PRO if you want a rigid steel machine with a 400x400mm work area, screw drives and room to grow into a larger spindle or a 4th axis. Buy the 3018-PROVer V2 if you are new to CNC, have limited bench space and want a small aluminum router that is close to ready out of the box. The 4040-PRO is the sturdier, more capable machine; the 3018-PROVer V2 is the easier, more compact starter. Owners of the 4040-PRO praise its rigidity and mod-friendliness, while 3018-PROVer V2 reviewers call it compact, sturdy and accurate for beginners, though support experiences are mixed.

• Choose the Genmitsu 4040-PRO if you need a larger work area, steel frame rigidity and the option to fit bigger spindles or a 4th axis.
• Choose the SainSmart Genmitsu 3018-PROVer V2 if you are a beginner with a small bench who wants a mostly pre-assembled aluminum router for light wood and acrylic work.
