Ah yes - that's the dogs knob version - the X2 is what I have from Syil
(but
via importer in the UK):

http://www.syilamerica.com/product_X2.asp

It's a lot smaller and more restricted in table travel but a superb bit of
kit. Cost me about £1450 sterling plus more for some tooling and a
belt
drive conversion. It's pretty sturdy and has ball screw conversion - if you
want to get techy!

There's also the micro mill (X1) which is even cheaper but I'm not sure
about CNC conversion.

Paul.
