Hello everyone... I am very interested in purchasing (Chinese) cnc off aliexspress . The model is ACCTEK 6012. I was wondering if anyone has ordered a cnc off aliexpress and what your experience was... i am in Canada and 16 dollars for shipping seems too good to be true...Hot sale ! cnc 6040 6090 6012 2.2KW 4 axis CNC router wood carving machine USB Mach3 control/DSP control system

My question would be: why is the Y axis working distance only 120mm on this one? It's roughly a 6090 size table. Oh, I see now! It's 1200mm Y. That was a typo.

Here it is on their website: mini customized advertising cnc wood router machine 6090/6012 discount price - Mini CNC Router - CNC MACHINES MANUFACTURER FROM CHINA-AccTek Machinery-

I'd be wary of cheap-as-possible shipping with a machine like this. In general, just know that you are doing a sort of an experiment when buying direct from the overseas manufacturer, like this. I bought a similar but smaller gantry-type machine from OMIO. It's been alright in my case, some issues to work through. But there's risk there for a real bad experience, I think. The price is good.

I contacted them directly... shipping is 712 usd... the aliexpress thing is just for advertising... You order the machine through Alibaba...I also downsized to the 6090 to lower the shipping cost a bit...and upgraded to a nema 34 450a motors on all axis to increase speed....also getting the 4th rotary axis...looks to me like a very capable little machine...
