Tons more accurate too..... sub-tenth-thousandth chord tolerances and repeatable as all get out. Awesome user interface, very small footprint for the work cube size. Designed and serviced from Indianapolis. Sorry, I just really really like the machine.

Personally i prefer Toshiba Machines and Mori Seiki...both very high quality...Toshiba machines are a pretty good budget and Mori Seiki are like the Rolls Royce of CNC's they are made to run full speed for weeks on end and have very high tolerances that are compensated for in heat changes and other small factors
