Lot of money, it's not even a pedestal.
I used one at my last job and was not impressed even with the rack lifting or lowering the table wapita.
The pulleys and belt were awkward also I was drilling lots of 2.5 mm holes and then had up to 75mm.
I ended up using the Arboga in the tool room most of the time.
Funny thing back in my own shop I have a single phase one of these in the wood area and have used the depth of throat once.
Also have an Arboga and a mates power feed bigger machine of oriental make in the metal side.
