Great video. I’m moving to a SYIL X7 from a Tormach 1100 and also am considering a Pierson pallet system for the same reasons. Thanks for sharing your thought process.
@shaunybonny688 I switched from pierson to the rocklock. I prefer the rocklock at the moment because it's more versatile in terms of readily available work holding. For example, almost any brand of self centering vise will have a 96mm mounting pattern that will drop into the rocklock off the shelf. The pierson pallet system would be better if you're doing high quantity production and can palletize everything. Right now, my work is low quantity and fast turn around. I rarely see the same part twice.

Great video Josh :)
Are these Pierson pieces basically zero points? Why would you use this over a 5th axis rocklock base?
