X3 in Canada?

[yukonho]

I looked at houseoftools... it looks like they have a similar machine to the x3, but it uses an MT-3 taper not R8. MT-3 is not a good choice for a milling machine (My current larger machine has an MT-3 taper) but the price is 1099 CAD which is reasonable. I would continue to look though...

That is odd.

I would like to know who that is as well.

i know, i also tought it was odd she even said they did not know the name of the company wich is even odder so i guess canadian buyer should put pressure on them to at least divuldge the name of that company

It's Busy Bee Tools in Canada, but they don't import the X3, much to our frustration... and the only 7x lathe they import is the 7x8 - virtually useless. It should be the 7x10 or 7x12. They have some other nice stuff, though.

ah man that sux, busy bee have nice price but all the have are rong-fu 30 and 31 type benchmill
