History
The history behind this machine is quite recent (well 2016 in fact is). But perhaps, the idea behind this machine can be of use for some people: the first CNC-machine I owned was a 3040 gantry-type machine. It worked with Mach3 and it was really fun to work and play with.
The limits of such a machine are obvious: it has quite a small footprint and the rigidity is more something for non-ferrous materials.
I was looking for a rigid, not too small and not oversized CNC-machine
