Right well I've been on the look out for a small mill for a while and after discovering that its not really the same as with lathes - which there seem to be loads of good second hand ones about - for mills there isn't so much.
So anyway i finally spent all my savings on one of these Chinese Sieg X3 mills re-branded by Axminster here in the UK. And so far so good, Axminster were really quick with delivery and the driver phoned up about 30mins before arrival etc etc, so i'm chuffed . Not so chuffed that what everyone says about spending the same amount again on tooling turns out to be true, but you cant win them all!
My questions are does anyone else here have one or experience with one, and what sort of cutting capacity do they really have, as i'm treating it quite gently until i get used to it.
