Flo, that machine is not cheap and is precision it uses a Heidenhain controller so it has precision feedback (it will use Heidenhain scales ) and you can get great information about how rigid it is from DeckelMahoGuildemeister the bearing around the whole B axis is impressive, it will take the cutting forces Please keep us posted with this projects progress that is one sweet machine tool tomp
