Method: Twelve desktop CNC routers/mills were verified 2026-08-09 against manufacturer product/spec pages (Carbide 3D, Inventables, SainSmart/Genmitsu, Bantam Tools, Sienci Labs, MillRight CNC, Snapmaker, OpenBuilds) where those pages were reachable, corroborated by independent review sites (MellowPine, All3DP, CNCRouterInfo) and resellers (MatterHackers, MakerTechStore, Amazon) where official pages 404'd, blocked automated fetches, or omitted a spec; every numeric field left null rather than guessed reflects a genuine gap across all sources checked, most notably: spindle wattage for machines sold without a bundled router/spindle (Shapeoko 4, Shapeoko Pro XXL, BobsCNC E4 body-only kit, OpenBuilds LEAD 1010 base kit) where the buyer supplies their own trim router; and max feed rate / repeatability for several budget and semi-DIY kits whose vendors never publish a tolerance figure. The BobsCNC Evolution 4 (E4) is confirmed discontinued and replaced by BobsCNC's Quantum series; its own site returned errors on every fetch attempt during verification, so its entry is sourced from MellowPine's review (which reproduces BobsCNC's original spec sheet) rather than a live manufacturer page, and priceUsd is left null since no current authorized-dealer listing could be found. Onefinity's own product page also 404'd during verification (site restructuring); the Woodworker X-35 entry is sourced from the Onefinity community forum and MellowPine's review instead. Inventables' X-Carve Pro price shows a real conflict between a cached shop-page fetch ($4,995/$7,495) and multiple independent retailer/aggregator citations of Inventables' own stated MSRP ($9,995/$11,995); the higher, more consistently cited MSRP figures were used, with the discrepancy flagged in priceNote rather than silently resolved.
