That is a weird looking plug, might be some sort of 50 HZ 220V system?

Yep, and here where I live we happen to have that weird 50Hz 220V as our supply! :-)

I paid around $1500 for my 3 axis CNC.

Although...they won't ship it to South Africa.

I'd be really worried about what sort of tolerances it will hold. Somehow cheap machine tools never end up staying cheap.

And sadly when they do ship here it doubles the price! Looks like a really nice toy to have though! Which 3-axis do you have Legion?

The A & B axis stack up doesn't look very rigid.

If there are clamping functions with the A & B axis's it might work
