This is the cheapest milling machine I have seen so far:

Has anyone got some experience with it? Any comments on the specs? I suspect
someone will recognize it as an equivalent of a similar piece of Chinese
machinery sold in the USA under a different name (a game I have been playing
with mini-lathes recently :-)


Yes it looks very similar to the mini-mill at Harbor Freight.

I suppose that price is in Canadian dollars. Not sure how that compares to U.S. dollars
right now. A year to two back you could expect to pay about 45% more in Can.$ than US$
but I think they are much closer to par right now. (Is our $ sliding downhill? ;-) )
