Frame rigidity and spindle power, then the bed you can clamp to · review
A linear-rail CNC with HG15 rails and 1204 ball screws on every axis, a 710 W digital spindle and a stated ±0.03 mm, sold for aluminum work.
Rails and ball screws on each axis mean far less play than rods and lead screws. That is what lets a desktop machine cut metal cleanly.
A 710 W spindle with a digital display shows you what it is doing, and that helps avoid stalling or overheating.
It works with Candle, UGS and Easel, so you are not locked in.

The title says it is designed for aluminum and acrylic. Feeds, tooling and clamping still decide the result.
It is the maker’s positioning claim, not the tolerance of a finished part.
