I bought a Benbox CNC1310. As of now, I did some simple wood milling jobs. I am very pleased with the build (all aluminium/copper/metal – no plastic parts whatsoever.) The only negative aspects that come to mind are the limited workspace (130mm x 100mm, hence the “1310”) and the cheap clamps (the things to hold down the workpiece while milling.) Everything else is very nice. This is a machine well worth its money.
