Quick verdict
The third-generation Stepcraft D.840 is a modular CNC platform with 594 x 833 x 132 mm working travel in the maker manual. Its 140 mm passage height is a separate dimension. The aluminum structure uses All-Steel Motion roller guides and igus lead screws. A 43 mm tool mount accepts optional milling motors and other compatible heads, while the selected control interface determines the software setup. Bundles differ: a starter package can include an MM-1000 DI, UCCNC and cutters. Compare those contents and the exact generation before judging total cost or usable cutting height.
