I have been looking at this machine and there are some things I like about it, such as the price, the fact that it has vertical and horizontal capability, it has single phase motors so it can work right out of the box, power feed on the x and the fact that it comes with two horizontal arbors, with spacers. There are a couple of things I don't care much for, such as the R8 taper in the horizontal spindle and the belt changing (although finding something with variable speed in this price range is probably out of the question). The spindle speeds looks to be in a useful range, although you wouldn’t be able to use 6” cutters on hard steel with that speed, but how often would that happen? What I was wondering is if there are any members out there who own or are familiar with this machine that could provide comments on their likes, dislikes or any issues they have had with it. It looks to be a very versatile machine that could provide a lot of capability in one machine, a boon for those of us who have run out of space.
