"That’s a nice little machine!

That it is. Lots of work area, and surprisingly precise and accurate (easily 0.0005"). Only drawback is that the cutting head needs more "oommpphh". If you have time to wait, it can do quite a lot, and since we do a lot of "onesy, twosy" stuff, I can set it up to run overnight and have a mostly finished part waiting in the AM.

I found that the key to success was to pay LOTS of attention to work-holders, and have the machine itself make the holders. Repeatability using that approach is excellent.
