I thought i would give a little feedback on the machine, now that i have been using it a lot. First the spindle motor is working great, the Sako drive is also performing very well. The machine itself is better than i ever expected....i still have to complete some work on the cabling and control panel. Reason for this delay is i am still deciding on e few things. The Aussie made bob is excellent....this is my choice from now on.
