Otherwise I can't see much difference. The quality control is slightly worse than mine as the photo shows the end plate (pinned with tapered pins) isn't straight. Mine isn't either but not as far off as this one.
One has to wonder if the lead screw is even parallel to the table with that level of sloppy fitting. It wold be easy enough to jig something to maintain the surface parallel and the holes. With CNC I don't know if a pivoting table and horizontal mill feature is needed anymore. Perhaps someone with more CNC experience can chime in here. With full CNC is a pivoting table like the one this mill has redundant? Thanks John
