Well, in my part of world western-made machine tools are considered much better in terms of engineering. One thing to pay attention to is the width of the slide surfaces on slides - russians made them pretty narrow, so the contact area is smaller and it wears out quicker - I have one lathe that I want to convert to cnc and for that purpose I am looking for a place to mill off those to make flat surface for mounting large Hiwins. I was pretty surprised to see that manufacturer has prrovided some manual in english. Let me know, if you want some more detailed information about it [in russian language] - I know a guy who can find data about any machinetool made in ussr.
