Glad to hear that. It will be a great boat anchor for someone.

Or are you looking to get it?

Heads up..they work like crap on anything other than
Aluminum...and
even then they are exceptionally marginal.



Have to disagree with you on this. Drill/Mills come in various
sizes and will do most all of the milling a hobbiest does. I would
not buy one for a commercial shop, but useful.

You will notice that the head is perched on top of a round column?
When that column is loosened to move the head up or down..its going
to
allow the head to swing like a chick on a trapeeze.

Yes..you may..may..may be able to cut mild steel..maybe..with a new
sharp 4 flute cutter...but you will never ever be able to make any
repeated cuts that are of the same size/location.

Yes..you may be able to mill a big part out in the middle of a
parking
lot with the head attached to a 55 gallon drum of concrete...but is
it worth the effort?

Shrug..its his choice. USe it wisely.

There is a reason Rong Fu mills are bought once..and then the owners
do nothing but whimper, cry, **** all over themselves and beg for
help. Its because they are largely..crap and its nearly impossible
to
make repeated cuts.

Shrug. Ive said all Im going to say..Im not going to argue with
"smart" grownups about wishful thinking.

The one I used was capable of ruler, pencil line and center punch
accuracy, like woodworking machines. It was not for serious machinists
with micrometers. You decide what you need.
