Just thought I'd see if anyone has one of these and what they think. I have some small ABS cases that I need some cutouts in and just had a quote. By the time I do it (small scale), heck I may consider the possibility of doin g it myself with one of these ebay cnc machines.
Anyone try using one for making cutouts on ABS plastic boxes? Work ok ? no t?
thanks.

I think you have the name wrong. CNC 1040 does not ring a bell for me
Maybe you are talking about the CNC 3020?
I have the CNC 6040, been cutting plastic and aluminium with that one. (als o PCBs)
Just choose the correct depth and feed rate. In platic/alu I use 0.5mm pass es, 5mm drill, with feed rate of 250cm/min. You need to have high feed rate s so the plastic is cut, not melted

think I must have had taxes on my mind.
I does a good job. I use mach 3 and Vetric vector sw to generate cnc files
I ordered bit sets from Ebay, since when you start out you will break some drill bits
Use carbide drills for best performance
I started out with alu right away. In hindsight I should have used the spend material (don't know if the wording is correct, but it is material like soft foam, do you can check the drill path on that instead of making errors on the final material )
