been contemplating the SainSmart Genmitsu CNC. Read some good things about in general. Not sure if it can handle small work on firearms such as milling slide cuts or the like but soft metal ... can

I don't think Chinese girls come pre assembled like Naomi Wu... :o

Oh, yeah!     :rofl: :rofl:

Lots of videos on "testing the cheapest CNC machine on Amazon", eBay, Alii Express, etc.  I think you should get a list of projects you're sure you need it to be capable of not screwing up, and start from that point to find a decent model.  Are you mostly interested in 3D wood and soft material engraving?  Laser etching?  Semi-precision machining, like making a work piece with holes spaced exactly the same distance apart, like for making a template for PARF style workbenches with even dog holes?

So many things a CNC can be used for IF you get one that's not so limited it can't do the task.  Most $100-range machines are project kits -- mostly for school projects and learning how to get the software and hardware in sync.

Sometimes it's just worth having the ability to drill a perfectly perpendicular hole in a stack of wooden blocks so each one is exactly the same -- for whatever reason.

That was one of the breast videos I’ve seen!  >:D
