My son is looking at CNC mills. I cam across this one, and no, I don't think it suitable for him. He will really need a Haas class machine.

But I'm looking at the photos and I don't see any 'glass', feedback, like my mill. How does it work? I know those have to be servos, not steppers. Do they just encode on the drive shaft and consider that accurate enough?

That's an Anilam bandit (I) control, and I'm pretty sure the motors are STEPPER, not servo. Precision is established by the leadscrew. Many, many machines use either steppers with no feedback, or shaft encoders on the servo motor.
