Be aware there are issues with the Super X3's motor and controller.
After testing two the UK importer has declined to import anymore into the UK.
Both these machines have now had the motor and controller removed and sold off as incomplete machines.
They have no ower and it's possible to stop the spindle with anything but the lighest cut. A direct buy from Seig will eave you with no redress if they choose to ignore any complaints.
After all that's what importers are for.

This isn't a sour grapes post as if I had wanted I could have bought one of these UK machines at far less than published prices to get them off the importers hands.
The standard X3 does not suffer from this problem.
