Anssen Technologies did make a reasonable EQ mount about 20 years ago....I was not a fan. Looks like the market were not fans either, as my google search indicates they stopped trading a while back.
Any Aussie startup contemplating competing with AP, Bisque etc. have around 35 years of +
R&D to catch up on, plus big CNC's are not cheap. Think mid six figures for one CNC milling machine.
