I think the accepted view of Chinese 'built' machines is that you should view them as a kit of parts which need stripping, fettling and reassembling. You then end up with something that's not too bad for the price.

I agree with this. And availability of these machines. And ease of working with them.

I tried to get semi decent Aciera F3 or something nearby...not too keen on buying from a dealer from other country before seeing one in person.

while you have the Yaxis apart, check the flatness and fit of the Y nut to the saddle . I found that this interface was a source of backlash in my rollernut conversion.

And while at it, I decided to check why my mill had only 180 mm of cross traverse instead of advertised 203 mm. Someone forgot to snag the cast iron plinth opening.

5 min with hack saw sorted it and now cross traverse (Y) is pretty much exactly 200 mm. But now there is no room for X-scale behind of the table with standard mounting hardware anymore.

Snagging is what we, in the UK, call fettling. An old Middle English word derived from German.
