So far you guys very happy with super X3. I’m glad to hear that. Anything I need to know before I place the order for the machine? This is my first time to buy little CNC mill. Please advice. Thanks
I like to see the machine before purchasing. But Syilamerica did not have any dealer or show room in Orange County California.

I bought mine 'blind'. Quality very good. Make sure limit switch leads are well supported and protected. Y limit switch lead should go around the tower, to avoid crossing the Y leadscrew area. Makes sure Z limit lead is not strained. Crimping tool used on crimped leads was not the correct one for most or all the connectors. They all need checking for security. Use minimum 1GHz PC with XP and standard parrallel port. No mechanical issues. Tweaking and tunng the Mach3 software settings give you some instant hands on learning.
Nothing a days fiddling won't fix. The installation instructions show how to get slide the bed off the machine to clean shipping protection. Do this after you power it up so you can move each axis electrically. Thats when you tidy the cabling. All low voltage, so it is safe.

Super X3. 3600rpm. Sheridan 6"x24" Lathe + more. Three ways to fix things: The right way, the other way, and maybe your way, which is possibly a faster wrong way.
