🔩 Small-Scale Fabrication Shop Reviews

⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ Marcus Lee - Lee Custom Machining
"As a one-man shop, I needed something versatile. The Base Model was a smart entry point—affordable but not limited. I upgraded the coolant system to recirculating, which made a huge difference in chip control. Only downside? Wish the base tool magazine held more than 24 tools, but expansion is an option."

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Game-Changer for Cylinder Head Production" - Thomas Reed (Automotive Workshop)

Posted: 2 days ago

"Switched from a 3-axis mill to the VMC2100 Advanced Model. First week alone, we reduced setup changes by 70%. The high-pressure coolant system keeps aluminum chips from welding to the tool. Zero issues so far—tech support responded in under 2 hours when we had a calibration query."

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Reliable and Export-Ready" - Sofia Alvarez (Export Manufacturing Firm)

Posted: 1 week ago

"Needed a machine that could meet EU safety standards without additional retrofitting. The EMC and LVD certifications saved us weeks of compliance delays. Running 16-hour shifts with no spindle or tool changer failures. Highly recommend for export-focused manufacturers."

⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ "Solid Performance, Minor UI Quirks" - David Wu (Prototyping Lab)

Posted: 3 weeks ago

"The GSK interface takes some getting used to, especially with 5-axis toolpath visualization. But once dialed in, the repeatability is outstanding. We’re consistently hitting ±0.01mm on aluminum housings. The 2-year warranty gives real peace of mind."
