I guess the simplest answer is that I sold it.

There were several reasons- one a much nicer Prazi mill presented itself
to me for a decent price, and I don't have room for any additional tools
so something had to go.

Second, it really is not capable of much bigger work than a Sherline.
Its table is only an inch wider, and about the same length. Its long Z
column is more shaky than Id like. Since I have a big investment in
Sherline, and Im a dealer, it was clear Id keep the Sherline stuff, and
this machine just didn't do enough more to be worth keeping it.

I still say its not a bad machine for $500. But it is a small machine,
and to me its more pleasant to that size work on a a Sherline.

How's that for an ambivalent answer?
