I bought one of those new in 1977, before I got my mill-drill. IIRC, the
price was about $250.00. It is capable of some decent work, as long as you get
to know its limitations, and spend time setting it up right. Good sharp end
mills help, because the setup is flimsy, and anything done to reduce stress and
vibration helps. With a little imagination, many things can be done with it.
Now the only time I use it is for putting a bore in the end of a long piece
that can't be held any other way.
