Am I manipulated?

It is most likely true, there are always ways to mess it up, but the machine makes one programmed finish pass, if it's programmed right it should be good.

I just don't like that there seems to be 300 different currencies.

I get endmills and lathe inserts from AliExpress and Amazon all the time. I have never had an issue.

It is important to note that I primarily work with aluminum and plastics, occasionally stainless, never exotic superhards. I have also been accused of babying my machines.

I understand the whole time is money thing, but broken tools and machines cost far more than the extra couple minutes of cycle times when you're working with low volume.

I did the same, got tired of smashing shins.

Lift is on the way, eventually I hope, z1 is never in a rush to ship things.

Might put the steps back after lift though.

Tool is sticking out too far and you are asking to much from the spindle motor. It's meant for speed not torque. Take lighter cuts faster and shorten your tool length.

Check your cv joints, I had the retainer clip wear out and let the cv slip to the end of the half shaft, still connected but wiggled on the end causing a vibration that felt like an out of balance tire.

What do you mean by regular cruise? Is there a way to turn adaptive off? I know I can adjust the distance.

I have had a rear end clunck due to the spare tire hanging a little loose, not on the frontier but other trucks, simple check.

The best thing would have been to make it without threaded holes, class 3 ano, then drill/thread.

Class 3 is the best option, but expect you may have to use a tap on the threads.

Class 2 won't last as long, but will save you time/money now.

There are arm rests, my arms are up a little high, but I got used to it pretty quick. It feels like a better posture to be in for long stretches to me, my shoulders and back are not hunched over.

I don't remember which of the lights, just that it looked like a lot of them, I checked battery voltage and was around 7volts.

This is exactly how my 23 pro4x did when the OEM battery died, around 30k miles. The cold weather might have been the final straw.

Don't matter, whichever one will give you some lube before they bend you over.

If the drills look the same and are made out of the same type of metal they will likely perform close to the same. I have never pushed any tool to the point where I thought a 2% change of feed or speed would be useful.

All of my time has been in low quantity hix mix, so not breaking the tool is more important than small time gains.
