Hi All,
I've been lurking/following these threads for quite some time. Thanks to all you guys with the details/photos, I finally decided to pull the trigger. After looking at all the other offerings, I really wanted the bigger work envelope of the Torus. Also looking forward to the rapid speeds offered via servos. I also ordered the PDB kit currently in development (should be ready in May according to John). There seems to be a lot of experience / expertise here, so I should be checking in here a lot, especially after the mill arrives . I gather there is a lot of tweaking and possible repair required once the mill arrives. Austin Texas in a long way from Canada (Fingers crossed). Fortunately I've been in electronics for 25 years, so should be able to diagnose most issues that may pop up.

Thanks again for all the informative posts. Hope I can add something useful.
