Quick verdict

The 4040 Reno has a 400 mm square work area and a 75 W spindle in its base configuration. It uses aluminum construction, belt-driven X/Y motion and lead-screw Z, with limit switches and an emergency stop included. The small stock spindle makes its exact package an important buying detail. Check the fitted motor and mount when comparing router-upgrade bundles, and allow separately for cutters, workholding and dust extraction.
