Did I say I thought that Tormach had influenced the move.
I don't accept the "poser" accusation. The total weight is the total weight, clearly it included the stand as it is integral with the machine. The machine is obviously a serious attempt. A person doesn't go to all that trouble for a “quick smash and grab".
To be fair Randy I thought the comparison with the Tormach was obvious and of interest, without the need to spell it out.
I don't claim the machine is either good or bad, but I do think it is interesting enough not to be dismissed out of hand.
Just a few thoughts

I was happy for the thread to be where it was. To be fair, Phil,you didn't start the thread as Tormach-related--it was others who did that afterwards...
