★☆☆☆☆
Terrible software cripples what would be a usable machine, get the MX3 version instead!
Maybe this would be something for kids to learn on but if you have any desire to cut PCBs on it you will be very frustrated. I would instead recommend the SainSmart Genmitsu Router 3018-MX3 Control. The reason is Mach3 is much more advanced software and will have all of your needs met. The regular pro unit cannot be controlled by Mach3 and it is missing switches for homing and the software you will have access to is sub-par at best and unusable for most operations unless you are real DIY kind of person (read programmer). While I can cope I am spending more time working on the machine than I am using the machine to make things.
