UPDATE: Since we filmed this video (which was not sponsored), Bantam Tools has decided that, while they will still have a pro-level subscription option, they will open up full feeds and speeds override to non-subscribers. Here’s their blog post about the announcement: https://www.bantamtools.com/blog/speeds-and-feeds-override-are-included

We test and review the new Bantam Tools Desktop CNC, a powerful three-axis milling machine for precision carving of aluminum, wood, and other hard materials. Jen walks us through her experience using the CNC as a stepping stone from 3D printing and laser cutting, navigating the CAM workflow with Bantam Tools’ user-friendly software. Here’s how this machine can fit into maker spaces and home workshops to level up a maker’s digital fabrication skillset.

NOTE: This is not a sponsored video.

Dan Hyde says:

Is the collet Chuck removable with an R8 taper or something? 🤔

sniffles fpv says:

4K cnc mashine and the couldn’t even put in ballscrews

Charlie Brown says:

Is this an ad for Bantam tools … or a review? No disrespect to the young lady … but it honestly sounds like she is reading from a script … and watching her using that allen key … i had to look away as she tightened the bolt with the allen key half in and @ a 45 degree angle … yikes! I couldnt watch anything after that allen key scene. Im off to find a "real" review!

Johan Braanen says:

Commercial, not review

Justin Lee says:

Can it cut shape of rolex bezel?

Jeffrey Berry says:

These specs are terrible! Good construction, but it has the specs of a $300 machine for $4,000!!

WJK says:

Hmm… thinking (if need be) covering a non-conductive workpiece in a thin piece of (slightly tacky foil) might do the trick in getting the auto-probe to detect the workpiece, but then again, manual probing probably doesn't take that long.

Camelazo says:

0:56 a broken bit… lol!!

Foomanlol says:

This is a piece of junk for the price.

A Layman says:

UGH! Wordy!!! HOW much, what will it cut… 10 seconds, done!

Sandwich Drones says:

This is an Ad, not a review. This product is shit, you can have something more solid from Aliexpress for 200€. Please see an honest review on YT

Phenom Menon says:

This thing is $4000. I turned the video off when I saw that.

Henry Swan says:

0:46 is it 250w or is it 1/4 horsepower???? a/4 horsepower is 184w, not 250w
seems like a scam trying to seem more powerful

Chris Powell says:

$3600 lol silly people

George Carter says:

I don't understand! This machine is selling for $4000, but how come everything is so cheap, Nema 17 stepper motor, lead screw, 250w spindle… for the cost of all these hardware configurations, I would pay no more than $1000 for this thing.

Picto Gram says:

this is advertising and no testing, but why advertising interrupted by advertising ?!

Kainen Akcatraz says:

Ghost gunner is better.

Yu Toob says:

28K rpm spindle, it's like an air tool

Isaac Zucker says:

only a thousand dollars out from a base model tormach. why would you buy this?

renderuthis says:

You must pay extra for software!!?? no way
