Markus,

No I hadn't... My comments were based on the pictures at their 
website which included work pieces made during a trade show in 
Germany, I think...

Where is their support forum?

I have to add that I looked pretty closely at the extrusion and 
polymer bearing design of these machines, and it certainly appears 
that any looseness or inaccuracy is adjustably remove-able. But it 
may require a bit of work to get it properly adjusted...

I DO think that sometimes you have to be careful when reading a 
support forum, because only the folks who can't solve the problem on 
their own will write in... The others simply make the adjustments to 
their machine(s) and work happily and quietly... 

I can imagine that more than a few folks will have trouble 
duplicating the results you get with your THP setup; even though you 
know from your own efforts that it works well...

Thank you for the added information,

Ballendo
