I had 2 axis on my Bridgeport clone MSC and when I decided I wanted a 3 axis I thought why not get 4 axis. Can't do it later so might as well do it now. Well that was 4 years ago, I have not regretted one minute since I did it. The reason I like it so much is because if I have to drop the table or raise the quill to get around an object, like the vise or a clamp, then I can return to exactly where I was in height. If you do get it I would suggest the better scales for the z and the q scales, I think mine are 1 um on the z and Q. The X and Y are standard 5um resolution. It adds 100.00 to the price but well worth it. By the way I bought mine from DRO PROS and the new one for my lathe came from them as well. They are great people to work with. If you are confused on anything or just need advise they will answer all your questions.
