A nice job to do when your waiting for your machine to arrive. Im a carpenter so I easily knocked up a table with some scrap ply. You will need at least 4 plug sockets, relatively close to natural ventilation and a level work surface with spare room for your laptop/tools etc. Pay some thought to where you are going to keep your laser. The general quality of the machine is very poor but what do you expect from a sub £300 laser that’s equivalent would cost thousands in the UK. All the hex screw heads were sheared off from my guess of overtightening cheap metal.Bent controller off stand easily fixed by removing and bending back.Out of square gantry that I can only guess is a manufacturing defect and not damage/twist etc.If you’re not prepared to get stuck in and fix these up…id suggest not buying one, you absolutely get what you pay for here and some of it is really eye opening.įirstly, relief that the tube appears to be well protected and there are no visible cracks…before powering the machine up I discover. Now upon inspection I discover a catalogue of faults and damage…as I almost expected this and was capable of fixing lots of it I didn’t take this up with the seller. Around 3 days later the waist band turned up…ive no idea why they do this but my guess it’s something to do with customs/duty? Initially I thought id been conned but emailed the seller who said the laser would shortly follow…around the 7 th day it did…This is my K40 Story.īox arrived well wrapped and protected – it looked like the box had taken a couple of knocks in transit but all looked ok inside… I paid around £289 including a free waist belt? Wtf? from a Chinese seller that had a warehouse in Germany. Realising a UK machine was well out of my price range my attention was brought to the K40 through EBay.Īfter much research, I realised there was a great community surrounding these machines and a wealth of additional knowledge regarding upgrades and tuition. I bought this after the need to produce small bespoke ply components for some of my other projects. This is a journal of my experience with the K40 Chinese laser.
