Seiki is an amazing machine.
yes, they're well cared for. The shop has a cleaning crew 4 days a week. Only thing I don't like is they clean the machines with high pressure air, not with a chip brush. This will lead to chips messing up the ways, esp. if your cutting hardened metals (we do a lot of armor grade alum.)
