I'm another newbie thinking of buying an OmioCNC machine and am grateful for your helpful comments. I'm actually thinking of buying the X4-800L because I don't need a 6040 sized machine (indeed don't really have the space) and the X4-800L has the same linear guide rails as the X6-2200L. I'm also a bit put off by the OmioCNC comment on the X6-2200L page where it says:

"This machine target user must be a professional user, you need to have some knowledge of cutting tools and machining experience. We suggest that : if you have never used a similar CNC equipment , you'd better do not buy X6-2000L. you can choose other models like X3, X4, or X6 series."

That doesn't quite fit with your "it's a 1" comment"!
