Ok people I have some questions about small mills from HF:
Does anyone out there have any experience with the Micro-mill HF is selling
now? ($279 in the local store.) As I see it it has 2 plus's, a small
footprint and only weighs about 100 lbs. One giant question, is it as
prone to broken gears as the mini-mill apparently is? 2nd question is: Is
it sufficently rigid/powerful to mill steel?
Yeah I know this is a lathe list not a mill list but there is so much
unreasoned prejudice (on the subject of mills) over on the other lathe list
that thought I would throw it out here and see what is said.
Regards
