Congrats on the recent shop addition. Making improvements/upgrading parts is
all good practice, IMO.

If you are going to go with a Chinese 9x20 regardless of the name I
strongly suggest visiting the Yahoo 9x20 group. As others suggested, there
is a lot of work to be done on the machine to make it useable.

I have recently graduated from Taig to a 9x20 and have so far replaced
several parts including the dreaded compound attachment (there is a better
way than just making or buying a 4-bolt clamp - it's called a Pitkin
Donut - details on the group files). Having said that it is an OK machine
for someone like myself. I am enjoying the extra size and power. I went
through months of agonizing over the choice but in the end this is as big
as I can handle and probably need. Here are some pics:

Hope this helps.
