Great Machine
This is my third CNC machine and the first to be purchased from a non-Asian company. So I was rather intrigued to see the differences in service and equipment quality. Off the bat I was totally impressed with the quality of the packaging. My fingers a however numb from opening all of those ziplock packs that each set of screws and other components came in, lol. Although there is no written installation instruction, the video is all you need. For a machine that you are constructing from absolute scratch, the video is well made and very easy to follow. As far as the machine itself, It thus far appears to be very well engineered. The parts also seem to be of much higher quality than others that I have encountered. Service-wise, I have had a few questions about things that I had ordered etc and about things that I didn't fully understand and the help both from the Open Builds team as well as the forum has been amazing. I hope that they stay doing the right things!

My New Lead 1515
This first review will be short as I am still in the build stage. It arrived at my door in record time (less than 1 week). This was a good start. It's clear the folks at OpenBuild are on the ball. As I carefully unpacked everything and laid it all on my floor in a grid pattern. I was a bit shocked at the number of parts but hey I love a good puzzle. Of course this puzzle comes with NO documentation. You must rely on YouTube videos which are good. That being said, one document just listing the parts with pictures would have helped. If I was leading the team at OpenBuilds I would package the parts to match the individual stages matching the videos. That would speed things up tremendously. More to follow after I have my new baby built and operational. P.S. One of the rails arrived with a substantial ding. But it appears to be the front rail so no bid deal.

Lead 1515
Other than missing a set screw for the nut block and a flange bearing, the CNC machine has performed perfectly

LEAD 1515
I totally enjoyed this build. Everything went together as advertised and worked first time. I would definitely encourage anyone who is looking for a no-hassle entry into a large scale CNC machine at a reasonable price, this is the one to consider I have a short MP4 video of my build if you are interested. Just let me know where to e-mail it.
