This is terrible news. A great company, excellent machines/products and their support staff is top-notch.

Really sorry to see this happening to them and the impact it’ll have on small machinists/hobbyists. Wish them the best moving forward.

Totally agree with Aaron. Too many Chinese knockoffs to compete with. Very sad.

It is unfortunate.

.....the impact it’ll have on small machinists/hobbyists.


A lot of idle equipment gathering dust in basements will have increased value.

Yeah, you’re probably correct there! Funny!
