But which particular mini mill would you recommend? 1) The Seig X2, 2)
the "Two Speed Variable Mini Mill/Drill Machine" from Harbor Frieght,
or 3) the "Microlux Milling Machine" from Micro-Mark? (If all three of
them aren't the same machine, which they look to be).


See this comparison for more info, Searcher.
http://www.mini-lathe.com/Mini_mill/...s/versions.htm
The $379 HF 42976 mill/drill has been discontinued.


I had already read that page twice, and though these are all supposed
to come from the same factory in China, I noticed slight differences in
the posted images/claims of these machines even though they are
supposed to be the same.

Can I get recommendations from anyone that has had experience with
these?

Thanks a lot.
