I see tools as an investment. Been wanting a mill for a while. Nothing fancy, just something I could use for small projects in my garage. This thing fits the bill perfectly. Only thing I don't really like is the drill chuck. I'd much rather prefer the collet style holder vs. the chuck style as they tend to grip the tool(bits) better. It's an easy swap though, so no biggie.

Heck just two kits @ $200ea would pay for the machine, tooling and materials | | | | | Currently Active Users Viewing This Thread: 1 (0 members and 1 guests) | | Posting Rules | You may not post new threads You may not post replies You may not post attachments You may not edit your posts HTML code is Off | | | |
