Today we find out if a 3018 CNC is capable of machining aluminum! The model I’m using has been upgraded with a 500w spindle kit but the stock spindle on the 3018 CNC is probably also able to machine aluminum, just at slower speeds.
Check out my 500w spindle upgrade video here: https://youtu.be/x3ixNgt9XRk

For 10,000 subscribers, I’ll be making another play button out of the secret special material shown at the end of the video. If you want to help us get to that next milestone, dropping a like and subscribing is the easiest way to chip in. A big thank you to everyone who has already gotten us this far, and to anyone supporting the channel in the future!
One side note: At 0:48 and 1:55 I meant to write “.003 DOC” not “.0003 DOC”

3D printing has become much cheaper and accessible, but there has been a lack of decent CNC routers at the same price point. Now the 3018 CNC Pro from Sainsmart aims to fill that void.
Featuring a working volume of 300 x 180 x 45mm, this CNC router goes together well and is capable of machining timber, acrylic and aluminium. It can also engrave copper to make custom PCBs. This machine largely succeeded with everything I threw at it. For this low price plus a one year warranty, I am very impressed and recommend this for beginners looking to get into the hobby.
I have done a fair bit of CNC machining over the years by am by no means a professional machinist. I look forward to the great tips knowledgeable viewers will post in the comments to assist others.
For any cutters you buy, ensure they are 1/8 inch or 3.175mm in shank diameter.
UPDATE: I have a follow up video upgrading this machine. https://youtu.be/Q4TrzshXV10
Purchase the Genmitsu 3018 CNC router:
Amazon (machine): https://amzn.to/2LANGFQ
Amazon (offline controller): https://amzn.to/2XINLOq
Amazon (laser add on, untested by me): https://amzn.to/2xqTIAv
If you can’t get shipping from Amazon, you can buy it direct from Sainsmart (unfortunately more expensive): https://www.sainsmart.com/collections/cnc/products/sainsmart-genmitsu-cnc-router-3018-pro-diy-kit
