Branding or personal customisation to their products from manufacture?

They may not be identical. My BF30 is not the same as the Warco BF30 equivalent (they call it WM18). There are slight differences in the castings and the electronics are not identical. The factories build these machines to different specs depending on the customer/importer. I believe the Warco WM18 has more scraped surfaces where mine has some left in an as-machined state. In general I think the finish and spec of the Warco machines is amongst the best, I would leave it up to you to find out the true differences and whether you think they are worth the money. I can say I have bought several things from Warco and they have been good, and their customer service is also decent. Same thing at Arc Euro. The same thing can not be said for all the UK resellers, but I have not had dealings with Amadeal personally.

probaly though I just spotted this is including UK mainland delivery as well but some of the prices are way way higher than Amadeal.

Cant wait to get my lathe and mill wont be for a while yet but dont hurt to research now.

I must post more pics of me CNC mill I built when I get the time thinking about it

EDIT

yeah customer service is a big factor TBH I will look into warco depends how much I actually save up as to if I can spend that little bit more.

I feel that I need to reiterate that you need to be careful with this seller.

Recently I made a 4th axis, from a 7x12 headstock purchased from these guys.

Their website shows an image of a new, shiny item, (later I found that they just take the images from the LMS website), but what I received was a headstock taken off a machine which was not in a condition for sale (for some reason). So although the part was technically new, it was not at all what I was expecting, (chipped, scratched, rust patches), and did not include all the parts they said would be included.

After a few phone calls, I got the missing parts, and everything works, but I will not buy from them again.

Lol,you must have bought what I bought? the item WAS a used item and sold as a new item.
Yep avoid like the plaque.

I notice they have stopped trading on ebay?
