But thats why its was so cheap. Not! A great target for linuxcnc thru a 7i90, some 7i42TA's and a spinx1 & a vfd to handle the 2 horse. But try as I might, I could not see any provisions to tilt the head. If I had room for it, and needed a bigger mill, I might have offered $1000. I can do more with this cheap G0704 than that machine can do. Great camo, it looks like a 8000 lb machine, but only weighs 3500?
