Still based on open-source Grbl v1.1, the 3018-PROVer V2 CNC has stepped up to more powerful but silent Toshiba TB6S109 drivers with 32-bit chips. More extended function ports were added, such as the 3 Pin Laser Port, Air Assistance Pump Port, and MPG Port. It also supports updating the firmware through an SD card.
The redesigned Z Axis Carriage has fixed excess movement which came from the old design anti-backlash spring. Not only did this improve the engraving accuracy, but also increased the effective range of the Z Axis from 35mm to 40mm. All stepper motors are equipped with manual jog wheels making it easy to adjust and position your spindle or stock material.
The 3018-PROVer V2 CNC Machine comes with a one-piece machined and molded aluminum spoilboard. It ensures the flatness and strength of the work platform. It is compatible with most of the CNC clamps on the market.
