It's basically an Optimum MB4 (a clone/rebadged one, but specifying the exact model would probably dox me).
It's fucking heavy, around 320kg to start with. Almost busted my engine crane getting it off the trailer. Spent about a week making an massively overbuilt stand for it. Still need to tram the head (hopefully the column is reasonably true, as I don't currently have the tools required to check that with any degree of accuracy, but will probably get them some time soon) and install the vise. Then I can start breaking end mills and generally fucking up everything I do for a year or two.
Hopefully I can make something that's worthwhile posting here. Time will tell.
