Mills ... another flogging
Having had an improvement in my financial outlook , I'm looking at mills
again . Lathemaster.com has a square column machine , weighs around 750 lbs .. Two horse spindle motor , table is 32X9 or so ... and can be had for less than 2k delivered . Nothing fancy , it is intended for "tabletop" use . I'm torn between buying a used larger machine and buying something like this one new . This has a more powerful motor than some Bridgeports ... and looking at the design should be close to as rigid . It has the advantage (and drawback , to be honest) of a slightly shorter table . Opinions solicited ... anyone have experience with this type machine ? I've heard good reports about this supplier from several internet forums ... anyone here dealt with them ? -- Snag aka OSG #1 '90 Ultra , "Strider" The road goes on forever ... none to one to reply |
