Something is missing, alright! Good catch, I did miss it.
There is NO WAY that machine has an ISO50 spindle taper on it,
just from the pictures. Quill diameter is listed at 70 mm,
no way they could get a size 50 taper in the spindle and still
have room for bearings. Maybe it has an R-8 or MT2.

Also, odd that the table "effective length is 450 mm (17.7")
but the travel is only 230 mm (9"). Unless "effective" length
includes the MOTOR and coupling?
