Hi all,

New to the forum but eager to get started and hopefully to contribute. I am a time served machine tool engineer and laterly CAD operator. As a hobbyist I am considering one of these relatively cheap Chinese machines, possibly the 3020 or 3040. I don’t intend doing anything heavy but would be interested to hear opinions on these machines. I have read that the electrics can be a bit suspect and this is a little worrying. If I do go ahead they appear to be distributed from a warehouse in Germany, does anyone know if there would be any customs duty or additional costing on import of one of these.

Regards....
