Yes, Wabecos are also quite nice machines, and they are really made in Germany, unlike the Quantum/Optimum, where only the motor is German.
Another nice new machine is the Ceriani David 201 (Italian made). It also has an optional 32 mm spindle bore (20mm standard). Something like 85 kg´s, and tabletop size. For £2350.00, Chester UK will deliver.
lordedmond: yes, the Connoisseur (which always comes with the screw cutting gearbox) weighs quite a lot more than a Super 7 Sigma with change wheels! My books say the gearbox weighs over 20 kg. And if you have the stand for it, and I guess you do, because they come that way from the factory, that´s some 35 kg´s more. No wonder your lift table was crying for mercy
