Well handlewanker, when you get your new machine, I'll definitely be watching for your progress with it. I hope you will document everything like Bob is doing. I subscribed to this thread and a Tormach and a Novakon one, so I can see where the short comings are before I decide which one to drop my money on. Because of the honesty of these machine owners, I can make a more informed decision and of what to expect.
Nothing personal.
