The Syil lathe, I looked at the pics, not all that impressed. The X axis stepper motor is just hanging out in mid air, and I mean WAY out there, they say about covering the steppers to protect them from "Fritters". I imagine they mean chips, yet the Z axis ballscrew is completely exposed to chips. It can't be running in closed loop, very few do. Steppers look like they might be sized right.
