I purchased a Wabeco from Markus last year and I am glad I did.
I am able to get 0.0002 accuracies routinely with careful tool management.
I looked for a long time and considered all of the lower cost options. After owning a string of Taiwanese and Chinese manual systems I opted for the F1210 HS. Most of my work involves mills smaller than 1/8 inch so the speed and accuracy is very important to me.
I have owned a Wabeco D6000E manual lathe for 10 years and I wouldn't trade it for anything else in the price range. I had two other Chinese versions before that and haven't shed a tear in finding them new homes.
MDA adds a strong set of steppers in all of their equipment and now offers an upgrade to servo-style motors.
They are German-made and the Euro is making them more expensive.
Can't do much about that.
