Frame rigidity and spindle power, then the bed you can clamp to · review
A larger Genmitsu with a 435 × 400 × 80 mm working area, dual 16 mm steel rods on each axis and a reinforced spoilboard.
At 435 × 400 mm, it takes jobs that a 3020 cannot, and a reinforced spoilboard addresses sag across that span.
Dual 16 mm rods are stiff enough for wood and plastics. They are a step below the linear rails on the PROVer, which show up in aluminum.
You can start simple and fit a bigger spindle. That is a good reason to pick this over a closed design.
