So I recently came across an oportunity to purchase a 2004 Precix Performa.
This picture is almost identical to what I was able to see. http://www.precix.com/CNC_routers_performa.htm It has what seems to be ground ball screws, with rotating ball nuts, servo motors, and a tool changing spindle and a nice vaccum table. 25mm linear rails. Seems to be quite heavily built. The machine looks to be in very good condition, as I was able to inspect it for a few hours. Unfortunately it is not under power, as the controller is not functional. Being that the machine I use now is powered by linuxcnc, and I built my previous machine myself, I feel comfortable converting it over to linuxcnc with mesa hardware. I'm curious as to anyone out there that has run across one of these. What do you think of the construction, how does it perform, etc.... The reputation of precix, from what I could find is not necessarily bad, but doesn't seem spotless either.
