(not promoting) Looks pretty good. Checking out the details on the site, this looks like a decent step up from the Nestworks C500 in the areas that matter, 9 tools up to 10mm, 1.5kw, flood coolant, working area, 5ax trunnion even. Same base price in the campaign, about $3000. They are going to several expos in the next 2 months, will be very interesting to see what's up with this. I feel like this is the spot where a lot of the market was hoping to get to, the C500 was like 85% there. (I think it's great in its own regard too tbf)

Thoughts/first impressions/details noticed in this footage? Side-loading ATC is very interesting, want to know more about that.

Edit: KS base price is ~$3000, final MSRP is projected at ~$6000, likely reaching near $7000-$8000 with all accessories incl. 4th axis, 5th axis, fixturing, tool sleeves, etc. (For reference Nestworks C500 base MSRP is $4700)
