I have worked with CNC machines for many years, usually large format laser and specialty multi-axis cutting machines. After a number of years away from the machines, and watching the cost and performance of entry-level machines grow, I decided to get a machine to refresh some of those skills and make some high-quality toys and furniture for my kids.
After much review, the Genmitsu PROVerXL4030 was by far the best value on the market - solid construction, easily extended and modified, and a complete all-in-one package with great community and manufacturer support.
After getting the PROVerXL 4030, I made a set of wooden planets for my son, who loves all things space; routed and then laser detailed.
My daughter loves horses, so we decided to build her a wooden toy barn using the milling and laser-cutting capabilities on the PROVerXL 1010 extension kit. Really happy with the performance and value of the 1010 extension kit for working with wood materials. I am looking at buying a second 4030 to do more detailed laser work now.

you need to use Easel or Carveco to use your machine, after you draw your item you then use easel for example to send it to the machine and to mill it out. there is a process you need to learn on how to do this, it is not a 5 minute job to learn, watch youtube movies and join the facebook sainsmart group for help. The more you practice the better you will find it.
Bonjour as tu avance sur ton problème ou as tu besoin d’aide merci de me communiquer ton mail

Hello, I also upgraded to the 1010 from the 4030. I’m having alot of trouble locating the new $$ values needed to make the 1010 cut properly. Any chance your could send me the $$ values from your 1010. Thanks!
