I only just managed to complete the required building work and insulation prior to it's arrival, now I just have to get the cable trays in and the workshop wiring upgraded to and then I can power it up :D

George of Emvio Engineering dealt with absolutely everything up to the delivery to my chosen location in the UK, I can't recommend him highly enough, from my point of view it was a very smooth, hassle free and worry free process.

We need more pics!

However I notice you've pretty much went all out on the spec and accessories.

You won't miss that 4th axis, will you? :-)

PS. it doesn't happen to take 30/60degree BT30 pull studs does it?
I may know some idiot who just ordered 20 of them without checking they were the correct ones for their own machine

Hmm, I kinda might, especially as it's permanently wired, I think I'd spot the ragged end of the cables! ;-)
The plan is to hang it from a hoist above the machine whilst machining arrays of parts when it's not in use.

Sadly not, it's the 45 degree.

I wouldn't be that crude, I'd tape the wires up for you. :-)

It does look like a good machine, and probably about the ideal size I'd like for some light production work, but my Triac ticks the boxes I need for now.
If I'm ever down your way, I might have to visit and see how it is in the flesh.
