CNC Bridgeport, but only X and Y the Z is manual. Very easy to program and you can do any shapes and radiuses, like CNC you know what I mean...

Oh so it's just the software? I'm going to look it up. I guess you could add Z or a forth axis?

Its like a little cnc machine, never see one with 4-axis.

But if I would want a machine I would just go with HAAS VF-4 cnc machine or even little bigger one VF-6. I love HAAS's.

Guy with a shop down the street from me has a HF one and only isssues he has had was the belts breaking. Also its not heavy enough for some of the work he does
I'm surprised thats the only problem with one from HF.
