Many positive reviews have been posted. Haven't seen a negative one yet. Probably the best deal for the money on the market.
 
No personal experience with the chassis it self, but I've read plenty of people like it for the price. It look like a well built machine IMO. Personal first hand experience is their customer service is excellent. I purchased a set of their aluminum wheels and had a bearing go our rather quick (few days) they sent me an entire new set of bearings (6 bearings) at no charge very fast. I was only down a couple days. I have had zero problems with them since, and now have extra bearings for when I do need them.
 
Not much to add; read a lot of positive reviews, no negatives that I can't recall. Bought a tracking wheel from them, and it's been holding up. Seems well made.

I have their grinder and love it. First 2x72 for me so nothing to compare it to but over all it seems well built. I went with the billet wheels, bought a couple of tooling bars, rest, 6" wheel, and small wheel attachment.
I mated up a Teco VFD and 1hp 3phase motor that I found brand new for $200. So I'm pretty happy with the overall system and support has been great. No problems and they respond quickly to questions.

Good luck if you decide to go this route,
 
Big fan. I bought mine last fall. 6" wheel and small wheel attachment. I am on 120v but need to punt up to 240v. Can't say enough good things but I came from a hf 1x30 so my experience is limited.
 
I have one that is devoted to platen grinding only. Although the left side of the platen isn't as navigable as the right, I like the grinder. The dude is very accommodating, the product is good.
 
I got one recently, my first 2x72. I am really impressed with the construction; it is big and solid. It definitely doesn't seem cheap. I expect this thing will last for ever. Runs true and smooth.

My only complaint would be is that it doesn't come with a tool rest, but that is easily fixed.
 
Have had one for over a year and a half with the VFD and not much to add to the above.
Nothing really negative to say, the only thing I don't like is the way he has his small wheel arrangement. I wish he had designed the way the bearings/small wheels are mounted differently so you could work the piece at all angles, including holding the piece parallel with the axis of the wheel instead of only being able work with the knife lined up with the belt.
