Awesome review Dave, thank you. I gotta get mine set up and running soon......
Thanks for watching Troy. Much appreciated.
Dave, good review. That seems like a really nice, well built machine for someone wanting to CNC without breaking the bank. BTW Dave you do a really great Alvin the Chimpmunk impression my friend. 🤣 👍
Thanks for watching Paul. Hope you and the Mrs. are feeling better. I've been working on my Alvin the chipmunk impression. Thanks for noticing. 😃
That CNC looks to be stoutly made and the price is right. Perfect size for the things I make. I want one but don't have the room for it. Thanks for the review.
Thanks for watching Larry. I'll be putting it through it's paces in the days and weeks to come. I'm learning a lot more about GRBL in the process.
Thank you for the review, mine came today. what are the difference between the 4040 Pro and the Reno? i just ordered this one but would be nice to know.
The belt tensioner part is so confusing. The diagrams are completely unclear. What is the "proper tension"?...
I think you might be using the clamps incorrectly judging by how you had it put together there, The straight through bolts go in the back and the butterfly goes in the slot. just sayin.
I'm not using the included clamps at all. I use hold downs that I 3D printed to get a lower profile and less likely to get hit by the bit. The clamps they include with these machines are terrible. 😃
Good start up video, thanks. Have one question I want to use the 1 1/4 router, and was looking at the 4040 pro but most reviews said they wobbled and weren't sturdy enough for the weight. Did they fix the Z strength on the Reno to handle the extra weight? thanks
Thanks for taking the time to watch. I have a mount ordered that will be here soon that will allow me to use a Makita or Dewalt 1 1/4hp router with the new 4040 Reno CNC. I will be doing lots of testing once that mount arrives. I have used a DeWalt 611 and Makita router with a 4040 Pro without any issue. All of these small inexpensive entry level CNCs will have some limitations that you have to be aware of. I have seen some UA-cam videos that have people saying Sainsmart sent them a newer stiffer Z axis assembly that solved that problem. I believe mine came with that newer Z-axis as I never experienced any problems. I hope that info helps.
As a brand spanking new cnc hobbyist would you recommend getting this machine over the 4040 pro I got a vevor I had to send back and had planed to get 4040 pro but I'd really like your opinion on if I should get the reno instead. Also very intuitive as one who only did a few passes offline with a cnc thanks for a great video
Thanks for watching Matt. As someone who has designed and built many different DIY CNC machines I've always used lead screws because they just worked. When Sainsmart asked me to take a look at this Genmitsu 4040 Reno I didn't know anything about the drive system whether is was ball screws, lead screws, pulleys and belts, rack and pinion, whatever. When I received this machine and opened the box and saw that it was belt drive on the X and Y axis I thought okay, I'm not going to go easy on this machine. I have been playing around with the GRBL settings and I have this machine running so smooth with faster rapids than I could achieve with the 4040 Pro. The 4040 Reno has handled everything I've thrown at it so far. Just to be clear, I've only had this machine since last Monday so I still have plenty of testing to do with it but as of right now I would have no problem recommending this machine to anyone. The 4040 Pro is a good machine too but I would have to say I prefer the 4040 Reno over the 4040 Pro. Hope this helps. If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask.
Thank you so much I really appreciate you responding back. Being brand new it really means a lot. I have been dabbling in woodworking for a year and I've always wanted to try cnc since i worked in a wood mill years ago. I will be taking your recommendations and may eventually get the pro as well. You have definitely sky rocketed to the top of the list as far as cnc guys. Thank you for a very good video for newbies I will be a subscriber and look forward to all I can learn from you.
Also do you think easel would be a good software to use with this machine?
@@mattwimberley8015 I don't know that much about Easel other than there is a very limited free version and a paid subscription version. I have been using V-Carve Pro for years and in my opinion none of the other software companies have caught up to Vectric. If it's in your budget I would go with Vectric from the start. If you are going to use it with one of these smaller footprint machines you can get by with their V-Carve Desktop version and upgrade later if you move to a larger machine. Hope this info helps.
Good demo Dave! They have made a few nice improvements over the 4040 pro
Other than changing the X/Y's from Lead screws to belts...
Thanks for watching Ryan. Sainsmart seems committed to continously improving their products.
@@TunaSoda yep overall cant see how this is better than the pro,
@@stevedue4485 I think they redesigned to allow for less expensive expansion kits in this category, and to ditch leadscrews. The 4040 pro was going to be costly to ship new leadscrews and steel tubes, or even whole new assemblies for x or y-axis. It's not made to be easily disassembled to swap components, this belt drive version is.
Their slightly better 4040-Pro is only $49 more lol
I don’t understand, is this better then pro or is it vice versa?
@@andrewahner7162 As far as I can tell the pro is marginally better, if you are new to cnc I don't think it will matter which one you get.
The 4040 Pro has a list price of $600, the Reno $450. My math teacher would call that $150 more
@KirkYarina There are three types of people, those that are good at math, and those who arn't... 😄
