That's a good question!
I'm awaiting an answer by your side...
I asked the question because I want to buy one, but as this is a big money for me, I must carefully calculate the cost
long term accuracy, your gonna need to replace the acme screws with ballscrews.
I don't really see any other fault in the mill.
You'll need to replace the gibs over time. The x/y gibs are nothing but strips. I'm unsure of the z-gib. I haven't taken that apart.
I wish there was slightly more travel on the x, but as it stands it's pretty good for having a square column.
General question:
How long has the X3 been out, and who out there has really put one through the paces over this length of time?
Might make a good survey question.
