SainSmart stocks more than 700 products for makers and hobbyists: Genmitsu desktop CNC routers, laser engravers, 3D printers and filament, plus workshop and electronics test tools, from a company founded in Lenexa, Kansas.
Before buying a router or engraver, remember that a promotion code cannot be combined with another promotion, so pick whichever single offer takes more off the cart.
SainSmart opened in 2011 as a vendor of open-source hardware, selling Arduino-compatible boards, Raspberry Pi accessories, sensors and relay modules. Its own online store followed in 2012, desktop 3D printers and a filament catalogue were added between 2014 and 2016, and the Genmitsu CNC brand arrived in 2018 with the 3018 router. The company works under the motto "Power to the Makers" and runs warehouses in Asia, Europe, Canada and the US.
Current lines include the PRONAX routers with automatic tool changing, the Cubiko machine, Kortek laser engravers, resins sold under the Ministry of Resin name and the BeaverBot C2 cardboard cutter for children. The site also takes orders for custom CNC parts made from customer CAD files and keeps resource pages such as a milling bit database.

SainSmart applies coupons during checkout, at the step where discounts are calculated, so the reduction shows up before payment is chosen.
Member-only coupons are tied to the WIP Reward Program, which is free to join by creating an account, so opening it before starting the order avoids a second pass through checkout.
A promotion code will not combine with other promotions, and special offer sales leave out PROVerXL series CNCs and gift cards, so the largest routers may sit outside a promotion entirely.
Tax-exempt buyers should submit their certificate, since US sales tax is added on top of listed prices rather than included.

Joining WIP brings 200 welcome points, enough for free standard shipping on an order below the $50 line; after that, every 25 points knock $1 off.
A banner also promotes a $100 off discount for signing up to the reward program.
Referrers earn a 5% commission for every friend they bring in.
Workshops ordering several machines can ask for bulk pricing through a request form, and any Genmitsu CNC comes with a free 3-month trial of Carveco Maker software, worth counting when comparing routers.
