I have been into CNC machining as a hobby for well over a decade. I even built and still use a gantry style CNC router that I outfitted with a spindle. I have many 3d Printers, multiple laser engravers, and a 2000W fiber laser I retrofitted onto a CNC gantry system. Basically I have well over 10,000 hours learning CNC and having started my journey learning CNC with 3d design for 3d printing, I bought my first CNC router kit thinking well... I already know how to draw 3d; so how hard could it be? Boy was I surprised to find CNC milling (subtractive manufacturing) to sooo completely different. Needless to say it took me years to get proficient. Now to the HiMill D1S. I wish this unit was around all those years ago. It is sturdy, quiet, and above all easy to use. I had it out of the box and milling in less than 1 hour. Though I have a lot of experience now, if I was a beginner, this machine would still be super easy to learn, plus their documentation etc. gets better everyday. I did have a few advanced questions about rotary tool paths etc. and support was more than responsive and got me up and running in less than 30 minutes. I highly recommend this machine to beginners and experts alike! In fact 2 of my friends in my little private maker group have just each ordered one!

This machine is great, and really easy to use. And the support from the engineers has been great as well. I've only had problems once so far but they replied back fast and made it really easy to fix my issue. This has been my 2nd time using a cnc machine the first was a professinal machine at college while i was being supervised by a professor but it felt super user friendly. I made my first cut about 2 hours after setting it up and watching 1 youtube video on how to use fusion 360 to make the NC code, and im proud to say it came out perfect. I hope to make lots of other project with aluminum for my car. Hope to see what else maxmake comes up with in the future.

For a brand new startup company, maxmake is awesome! My background was always law enforcement and military, but I got into machining about 2012. Earned a degree in computer aided manufacturing shortly thereafter. Worked as a reseller for Mastercam for several years. Programmed tons of parts, and made everything from gun parts to race car parts for Nascar teams. This little machine is more than capable for the simple "artsy" pieces. So far has held a .0015 tolerance over 6 inches. Honestly I can't wait to push it to really see its capabilities. Laser is really nice on wood, does great with minimal smell. Haven't tried any laser metal engraving yet or the 4th axis yet. But I don't anticipate any issues. Tech support is AMAZING! Engineer Shan needs a raise in pay, lol. There's nothing that you can ask that they won't have an answer for. Keep it up guys, looking forward to many years ahead.

I been watching them since I saw the advert on Facebook that was taking the deposit down for two tools and at the same time as soon as the campaign started on kick start a jump straight onto it and kept an eye on the concerts and watching the videos and yes he took about 41 days to hit the UK and then about another 10 days for it to clear customs and then got delivered today but also at the same time with the accessory pack of all the different woods and metals which was quite handy as the first time user of the CNC machine can’t wait to get into it a bit more. Learning how to use it and definitely be buying some accessories at a later date.
