It had problems in the early days with the motor/board combination. To
the best of my knowledge, these have been fixed. Axminster and Chester
sell them. Regardless of what is said, it is a metric machine with
metric leadscrew. No tumbler reverse. The gear which turns it into an
imperial is open to question. The physical weight is good, overall.
After considering John Stevensons comments on this machine, ARC has
thus far decided it is better for Axminster and Chester to continue
selling them.

No.
I though Ketan had explained it OK and even pointed out who was
selling them in the Uk.
