A CNC Mill For Less Than $200 - Is It Worth Buying? (CNC 3018 Pro)

G'day everyone,

I have been wanting to get my hands on one of these cheap CNC kits for quite some time. It is more of a curiosity, rather than an investment. I want to know what can you get for $200. I have seen these CNC machines on ebay for a long time, but I recently saw a listing on sale for less than $200, so I took the gamble. This is a CNC 3018 Pro from Vevor. In this video I'll unbox it, assemble it, go through my first impressions and take a few test cuts in various materials. I hope you enjoy the video.
