I recently purchased a Champion 20VS Mill from Chester. When I purchased this mill, the product page stated that it had 660mm of longitudinal travel. The actual unit that was delivered only has 490mm of travel. I rang the company and they confirmed that what I was seeing was correct for this product. The next day the page was updated and now says 620mm of travel (still very wrong).
Every time I have contacted them about this issue I have been told my only option is return the product and they have proven unwilling to update to the correct information.
I have also had a look at the Champion 16VS Mill product page and just from the pictures and comparing the values stated for bed length and longitudinal travel on that page, it is clear to me that that product is also listed incorrectly.
I wouldn't trust a single value anywhere on this company's website and I would strongly advise against purchasing anything from them.
Edit: I have attached photos showing the table at either end of it's travel. The ends of the bed prevent it from moving any further in either direction. The photos on the product page and the stated dimensions of the bed match exactly what I have here.
The center mark shows a reading of 247mm on one side and 242mm on the other.
247 + 242 = 489mm
Your values are wrong.
Update them.
In addition, I posted a review on the product page for this mill. After a few days of saying "Your review is awaiting approval", the review has been deleted without an explanation. Clearly this company does not care for fair and accurate reviews.

Following your reply and against my better judgment I contacted your sales office on 4th August and received a response on the same day saying they were looking into it. Sadly nearly a month later I have heard nothing.

The machine came with an array of tools and everything to get going, after all the checks had been done and a good lube of all the machine I was away and I havent used a Lathe for 40 years, But I had a good teacher so you do not forget. The machine runs effortlessly cutting stainless steel, mild steel, knurling, drilling etc, plenty of oil is the game with these, fantastic machine Highley recommended.
