The machining is nice quality, but for everyone who is "amazed" I'd just like to say that it is typical of any professional machining. What amazes me is the lack of scratches. They aren't anywhere to be found! The plates have not been milled and they have not been buffed, or even gone over with a scotch bright pad. How do you keep the plates from getting scratched in their raw material form?

Last, for anyone who says this is heavy, how can you call plastic gears heavy. Most teams (like 696) would use all steel gears. So I personally think this is very light, but I do have some concerns about that final stage.

As a side note the world would be a happier place without scratches of any kind
