833TV Quality Issues?

[ltlvt]

I don't know about the 833-TV but my 833-t the only problems I have had are operator induced. I don't think "Needs Work " means the same thing as Poor Quality. Most of the PM machines are geared towards the Hobbyist market. Alert ! All Hobbyist are not created equal. I do know that when a consumer buys a PM machine from Quality Machines the fact that any repair labor must be done by the owner or someone the owner chooses to pay. I will stand up loud and clear and Say the Matt at Quality Machine has been great at after the sell service. And there are plenty of customers besides me who will say the same thing. I've had my machine for about 5 years and I have never heard a bad word about Matt at Quality Machine or Precision Mathews. I am assuming the .004 issue with the Y means that over the total length of the of travel it is off a total of .004. What is the advertised tolerance of the machine? What and how were the measurements taken? I guess I would ask the group how much of the y axis do you use on a regular day in your Hobby Shop? 100% -50% 25%. If the answer is 25% then would the problem actually be a .001 problem? Because if you are using the mill to make parts for the Aerospace industry you bought the wrong mill in the first place. Now all you guys that ae ready to stab me in the throat because you expect .0002 accuracy would have never bought the 833-TV in the first place. Nuff Said
