The aforementioned have contributed financially to the continuing triumph of 4hv.org. They are deserving of my most heartfelt thanks.
I need to do some connections (3~ power and pressurized air). Whole machine is under heavy layer of protective grease which needs to be wiped away. Although shipping took over 6 months and distance was almost 5000 miles (8000km) machine got only minor damages. One bent handle and few scratches. It was very cheap and surprisingly well constructed for this kind of machine.
This machine has proved my point that you can get decent tooling for cheap price if you got lucky. (At least i feel very lucky with this machine) Im looking forward to make some neat RSG wheels and other HV related parts in near future :) Will post some pictures when i get that thing running.

Holey buckets, that looks great! Just looking at it makes me want to carve a whole car, piece by piece.
It seems to be hinting that even a lame hacker like me could make cool stuff, if only I had sufficiently advanced tools to hide the fact my fabrication skills really suck.

Yep, it is not bought for making only HV related stuff, actually we have small family company which deals with all kind of product development and i do almost all machining work when we are building prototypes.
13k€ is a butt load of money but still that was very cheap compared to similar machines from USA or UK
