I have 2 1100s III and my thought is they are AWESOME for small / medium jobs.... but after getting my HAAS VF-3 and I find myself trying to run them like the HAAS and is doesn't work. I think if Tormach came out with something close to the HAAS Mini-Mill they would have a WINNER. So heres my 2 cents.... put the biggest motor that you can still run on 1 phase, up the wight to around 2500 lbs., move the electrical box to the back, have a different collet holder, add a little more XYZ, and sell it with a full enclosure, tool changer, for a price around 20K for the medium production shops and you'd have a winner....
