Mike, think you need to produce some swarf, looks too clean.
Good value for money those Lux's and similar other rebrands, i have the super lux for the bed length, 3 axis DRO power feed from Bridgeport type adapted. Lead screws will go first like anything chinese - 5 revs+ on vertical on mine. Shame about lowish spindle speed as well, bearings wont handle much faster.
A spindle lock would prove to be very usefull, first thing i did over 6 years ago.
Wouldnt the mill be better where the drawers are unless you need floor space for assembly?
My M300 came that green colour reminded me of Warco.
