Quick verdict
The Pro M uses steel plates, aluminum profiles, ball screws and profile guides in a kit assembled by the buyer. Its controller combines PlanetCNC hardware and software with a Raspberry Pi host. Mekanika provides design documentation and Belgian support. Select the spindle and accessories separately, and check which items are included in any bundle.
Who this fits best
European workshops wanting ball screws, profile rails and local technical support
Buy this if
European workshops wanting ball screws, profile rails and local technical support. Built in Belgium with a five year warranty, which is unusual at any price.
Skip this if
Shipped as a kit, so expect a real assembly project, and planetCNC TNG is capable but niche, with a small community.
What else you still need
A suitable support table, spindle selected separately, cutters, workholding and dust collection. Check the chosen pack for interface and accessory contents.
Material reality check
Wood, sheet goods and non-ferrous materials with a suitable spindle, tools and cutting parameters; this remains a router rather than a dedicated steel mill.
Better alternative if...
you prefer the AltMill hardware and control workflow. See Sienci Labs AltMill MK2 2x4
Where it wins
- Built in Belgium with a five year warranty, which is unusual at any price
- HGR20 prismatic rails and 16mm C7 ball screws on all three axes
- Open source design, so you can see and modify what you bought
- Optional VFD spindle integrates with computer speed control
- EU shipping, EU support, EU spare parts
Where it falls short
- Shipped as a kit, so expect a real assembly project
- PlanetCNC TNG requires learning its own setup and workflow
- 62kg machine needs a suitable support table and floor space
- Expensive against an AltMill or Onefinity of similar size
- Confirm the delivery estimate for the selected configuration
