I keep checking this thread to see some detailed reviews/tests, would love an upgrade if it is worth it and others have good results
There should be a few reviews coming up. They said they wanted to put it through its paces before actually posting it. Even though that takes more time it brobably will generate a more accurate assessment.

UPDATE!!! DO NOT SET MAX SPEED TOO HIGH!!!
As awesome as it would be I just came a hair away from a crash at 9000mm/m. Best setting is 4K-4.5k! Any faster and @PhilJohnson will be correct yet again. He warned me of imminent doom if I were to do that. You will need lager steppers to overcome the friction on the v wheels, he said. The man was right.

Check my YouTube channel. May be on there already.
I see the backlash tests and first movements, seeing it cutting stuff out would be pretty dope

Agreed. Bit deflection is key. However on a 1/4 inch bit I have never broken one on wood or mdf. Only in aluminum.

Hmmm, so I’m left wondering if it’s cheaper and easier to upgrade to Steel-belted radials (Phil’s 9mm) or switching to a lead screw kit.
the accuracy is incomparable.
Easy. Shim up with 3/4 mdf until ur happy.

Ok folks. For those that have switched to this screw drive vs belts. How much better is it really?
