Quick verdict
The CAMaster Stinger I is a compact industrial CNC router that brings production-grade construction to a 610x610mm work area. The welded steel frame, linear rails, ball screws, and included 2.2kW spindle are components typically found on machines costing much more. CAMaster is a US manufacturer with a strong reputation for build quality and customer support. At $7000, this is not a hobby machine -- it is designed for small businesses, prototype shops, and anyone who needs consistent, repeatable precision in a relatively compact footprint. The 135kg weight and welded steel construction make this a permanent shop fixture.
