I had tried the German pages in the mean time.
I have also done a lot of online research and do think the 600 is big enough for my use.
I wanted to use Mach3 as my pal has it and my thinking is: if I have problems, he can help me.
I have also mailed Stoney regarding the UC100. If they are the same price as the Hungarians, I'll order it there.
Due to the Pound/Euro rate, the machine is cheaper directly with Stepcraft.
Cheers
David

But I don't second other statements.
What you can also read here from time to time is, that packaging is really good. Actually it's the first time that I read the opposite. I don't disagree with what's been said about the status of the package after transportation, but maybe someone else has to be blamed for the scratched and bend parts. When studying I worked for UPS and I know how hard life of a parcel can be!
On the other hand a company has to rely on their workers and you find good and bad ones. So, letting SC know about your bad package should at least help to figure out wheather there is a worker which provokes bad packages. Did you take some photos?
Absolutely, and my disassembly/reassembly was to get the machine working as well as possible, as well as to rectify some issues caused by the design (such as the X limit switch jamming with the washer under the brass roller, and some of the brass rollers jamming - both of which have been raised by others elsewhere in the German section).
The construction of course is a matter of your personal experience in mechanics. You can be too much experienced and too little experienced, both ending in a nightmare. For me the steppi worked after some hours with some little backslash and after tightening 2 screws it worked perfect. I would say that I am not a real expert, but have a good amount of allround talent and CNC and the mechanical part of machine assembly was totally new to me as well.
So, someone ordering a steppi has to be prepared for both, an easy walkthrough or a nightmare. But at the end of the road there is lots of fun
