FoxAlienCNC Upgrade Kit 300W DC Spindle Milling Motor for 3018-SE V2&Masuter CNC Router Engraving Machine with Integrated Control Box Speed Adjust Button

It is definitely a great upgrade to the 4040 cnc router. Much more power.

My cnc comes stock with a 60 w spindle and i knew that would not be enough, so i upgraded. The 300 w spindle should be the stock spindle. I could see with a stepper upgrade wanting a beefier spendle. for any use other than butchering soft materials like foam the 300 watt spindle provides much better results. Either purchase the machine 300 w spindle or purchase the cnc and the spindle at the same time.

This spindle surprised me when it arrived, it came fully assembled in a new mount and carriage. I followed the great FoxAlien 300W spindle upgrade video on YouTube for easy plug and play wiring and ran this 3D pattern very easily. The spindle seems quieter than the original that came the my 3018 SE V1.

Operator error on first attempt installed now and very happy with it.

Have not used yet but easy to set up and upgrade.
