d=1 Any opinions on this. Seems like he wants a lot of money for it. I
wouldn't mind having one as I don't have room for a real milling macine but
I wonder if these things are worth buying. It uses a morse taper collet and
I'm uncertain if they would have enough holding power. Also would this cause
excessive wear to my old Atlas? Then there's the question of whether it
would be a big pain in the ass to setup.

I made up a heavy angle setup for my SB9A to hold the compound in the
vertical plane. End mills are held in a MT3 3/8 collet from Busy Bee.
Not a perfect setup by any means but it helps me putter in my shop for
my own enjoyment.
