    Syil X5 (BF20) travel discrepancies

    Hello all.

    I'm seriously tempted by the Syil X5 (BF20) but have come across some discrepancies in the descriptions of the x and z axis travels.

    The Syil website gives the x travel as 400mm and the z as 380mm but the UK distributor on their ebay site gives the x as 280mm and the z as 170mm.

    I think all the other specifications match up including y travel and table size.

    I have contacted the UK distributor and they said it is probably a unit conversion error somewhere and that their figures are probably the more acurate.

    So I was wondering, if anyone is running one of these machines could you check what are the true specifications, and also what are your opinions of this machine.

    Many thanks.
