Default HF Mill/Drill

Peter,

Whatever you buy, ask about the table motion per dial revolution. Mine is
0.1 inch per turn, but some machines apparently have 0.125 inch/turn
(would drive me nuts - I think),



My mill (Gorton) has a table motion of .125 for each turn of a hand wheel.
I thought it would be awkward, but it's not really. I got used to it pretty
quickly.


Fair enough. 0.2 is fairly obvious to me; how do you think your way
around at 0.125/turn?
