Let me start by saying that I was aware that purchasing from overseas could pose potential risks and the quality may be lacking, so these things didn't surprise me.
The price was right where I could meet it, the quality has me wishing I'd have held out for a better made machine. The machine arrived pre-rusted, not much else to say. Terrible finish on the cast materials. The center of the bed is supported by a thin rail of cast iron that looks like a small woodland creature chewed it into shape! Seriously, I wouldn't depend on it for anything of substantial weight! Overall the quality is not great, but expected at this price point.
Mechanically everything seems to be in proper working order, although not the squarest of machines. I've not yet tested the oiler but I need to as the Y axis seems to growl a bit.
And instructions, whats that! I understand the machine and it's mechanics, but the Richauto A11 is all new to me. Some sort of instructions would have been appreciated!
