Desktop 5-Axis Beast with Attitude! Xhorse XM-100
We accidentally bought a 5-axis CNC machine…
And decided to immediately test what it’s really capable of.
In this video:
— unboxing the machine
— first startup
— plastic milling
— 3+2 positional aluminum machining
— and, of course, some unexpected fails
This is not just a review — this is a real first test in action. Let’s go!
