I really couldn't find much info on this brand

Entering my Cali zip code to find service and a dealer, yielded a guy on the East Coast

Under News and Press releases there is one PR... a VMC installation in Nov 2018. their first.

Can't tell if they are a new US company building machines, a shell company importing a foreign brand

or a foreign company trying to break into the US market under a new name

I couldn't find enough info to come close to a yea or nay decision.

I'm guessing these are Chinese machines with a pretty paint job

I think I'd let somebody else be the guinea pig before I put my money down

I hope they better at building machine tools than they are at math

Their biggest VTL has a 630" swing :whistle:

No kidding, That is a 393.7" table with a max swing of 629.9". Can you imagine the distance between columns? I wouldn't trust the rigidity of it with that much spread. Although admittedly I have not seen pictures of it.

An FPT Industries Vertigo with a 374.0" (9.5 meter) table only has a max swing of 472.4" (12 meter)

I don't think you will ever see a picture of that

I think someone bungled the decimal point when converting from metric to imperial :p

Based on the numbers I don't think they would have made a decimal error.  The machine weighs 1.5 million pounds, and has close to a million pound table load.  It's just a damn big machine.  355 HP and 15 RPM.  That would be whippin at that diameter,

I think that entire page is a decimal error :p
