First off, I can't begin to give enough praise to Tormach's customer service. I ordered my machine on Monday and it arrived on Friday! The order was 100% correct with not a single mistake. Packaging was fantastic. No damaged components -but the main machine crate took a hit on the top and something put a ding in the top of the controller box. Nothing bad. (FWIW, I bought a deluxe stand, 4th axis, TTS, ATC, PDB etc.)
The things I didn't like, but don't really affect anything long term - I just thought these things would be checked a bit more thoroughly.
*The column behind access panel, has a LOT of cast iron shavings in it - presumably from the machining of the column. Not only are they present, they are painted over. It's not in a place where you can't see it, they are plainly visible - especially considering the Z axis wiring runs right over them.
*The wiring instructions for the PDB were a bit tough to follow and it appears to be that the fuse layout isn't done by the print. (The fuses are different that what's shown - I pulled and verified a few of them).
*ALL of the tooling appears to be subbed out and not made by anyplace this side of the pond. Some of the tools/tooling/parts are simply rebranded. I don't necessarily mind that, but one could save some money with investigating.
EDIT* - The macine arms are ok, but the tray part is made from particle board. It won't last long in a wet environment. IMHO, not worth the 300$.
All in all I'm in the 99% satisfied range. The machine is great and is super quiet. I would highly recommend it.
