X3 is not first rate compared to your American machines like bridgeports, or VMC's. But compared to any other asian tool, or what a hobbyist would have, I think it is. All components are very well machined, perfect fits, dowel fits at that. Quality of leadscrews is nice, they are quite smooth. No cheesy plastic gears, it is well designed. Perpendicularity was right on, no movement detected with my .0005" DTI. |
