It's an Amazon Prime product so shipping is free but yes, in Canadian $ half the price of the Swiss one and probably should be 1/4 the price since it's no name.
Having said all that. With just a normal tap (I had to try) here is the result into MDF. Scary to watch it do this. I really should stop using G0 for positioning when I'm trying things out. Especially when I forget to touch off the new home position... But for metal a spiral, or at least spiral point is a must I think. Time to do a bit more tuning but impressed as how well it works.
