Hi, I made some carving on wood while developing the prototype. But didn't documented it. It is possible to cut wood. But not metal of course. You can get good results with the wood.

I machined plaster and wood on this machine. Both works well. I had only one 775 motor without speed controller while developing the machine. So, if you have a configurable rpm spindle with low vibration, you can get very good results on wood.

It's a 3d printable cnc machine. Of course it is not rock solid rigid and can't machine hard parts precisely.

It is pointless to compare this machine with a high end high precision machine. You can't get that rigidity and precision from a 3d printed part.

But, may be someone wants to build it from metal. Then you may consider to get better results.But this requires more modification because you can't expect high precision while using v-slot wheels.
