What is your experience using this machine? (What is the concensus of this
newsgroup?) I've thought about buying one of these as a replacement for my
$50 benchtop drill press -- I dare say it would do better than that little
thing, plus give me some limited milling capability ... but how limited?

Thanks,

Andy

Hi, Guys!

I've managed to get along without a clamping kit for my Big Red
Mill/Drill ( HF 42976) for some time now, but it's time to bite the
bullet.. I've seen comments about this Mill/Drill and am checking Ebay
for kits... A bit confusing, to say the least.
The upper slots in my table are .490" wide, or about 12.49mm and the
lower slot very close to .625"....
3/8" kits are available on Ebay, but mention half inch slots... Will
the kit on ebay (for example, http://tinyurl.com/7b9n2 or
http://tinyurl.com/bp637 do the trick?

TIA
Bill
