Easily one of the most impressive CNC and laser combo machines I’ve tested. I put the MAXMAKE D1S to the test carving brass and wood. It delivers 0.01mm ultra precision, smooth finish, great dust collection, quiet metal machining, and switches to laser mode in seconds.

After testing the MAXMAKE D1S in real machining projects, I found it performs perfectly well: the precision is there, the machine quality is very good, the structure feels very rigid with no play, and the final finish is just perfect.

It delivers solid accuracy, extremely capable hardware, and a great range of available accessories. The included software works perfectly for core operation today, with ongoing updates coming to fully support advanced CNC CAM features. This is a reliable, well-rounded desktop CNC machine.

Having zero prior CNC experience, I still achieved really solid results following simple tutorials. It features quick tool change, accurate auto tool setter, and is surprisingly easy for absolute beginners to learn and use.
