The X2 still a good machine in my estimation. I wouldn't easily give mine up. It performs well for what I do with it. I purchased mine used from a young engineer that had moved up to a Brigeport clone. It came with the belt drive, clamp set, vise, and R-8 collet set. I've added a Rotary Table, Boring head, air spring, Z rack extension, and recently added a 1 1/2 hp tradmill motor and controller. I'm currently working on a power feed for the X axis.
