I have a 4040pro. It's been quite decent in wood, but I don't know about soft metals. The round tubes are just that, tubes. This makes it easier to deflect towards the center of the work area. I had hoped they were solid rods. I think that would have been less prone to deflections.

That being said, I am working towards doing a couple small brass projects on mine though. I think it would be capable with low feeds and small cuts. I am not sure how confidant I am abouts it's detail though.

I have about 5 hours in it now. It has taken some getting used to. It is incredibly well simulated. So far my biggest hurdles have been my own bad habits. Now I just need to practice some instrument approaches without getting overwhelmed.
