Further, the fact that their chassis are fairly cheaply converted manual milling machines on welded stands should give further cause for serious concern.

Finally, reading the dedicated forums clearly shows that what you are predominantly buying is a project and not a finished machine and support is primarily user-to-user and rarely from the manufacturer/assembler/dissembler (strive to understand that English before commenting) you should be very wary indeed whatever your use might be for a machine which may be delivered with more slack than your average Coal Merchant's lorry! :D

They're probably fine for making your average toy choo-choo but I'm not counting that as Engineering with a capital "E" :D
