put it through a quick test as is and it seems ok , I did a bunch of milling on an aluminum block and it cut pretty well on the outside profiles and internal bore ,

I'll test it later with some bigger tools and see what happens , if it holds up as it has then it should be ok , it's certainly nothing to impress with but it may turn out to be ok ,and hopefully much better with the new electronics , it still seems to me that the spindle setup is a joke as is the plastic gearing
