Since I sold my big RF mill, I've got my eyes on a ZX50C with DRO.? Something like this one



Of course that has to wait for us to get to the new place and epoxy-coat the floor.? At least I know people with trucks to pick it up and the local train depot and get it to my shop.

Vendors and prices will depend on where you're shipping to.? My new shop is 11 time zones to the East of my California shop, there's a train depot in town that connects to a big nearby seaport.? Your prices may vary.

Approximate price?? ? ?Who sells it?

I have one of those (in red) purchased at least 20 years ago from Harbor Freight.? (They no longer carry that model.)? I basically use it as my main drill press; I have a Rong Fu RC-15 that's a far better machine for milling.? (Actually, I have an ancient Walker Turner machine that's a far better, although less versatile drill press)

The reason I use it so much is that it has an X-Y table, and enough capacity for most quick jobs I need to do.? It has measurable run-out (about 2 thou), but my biggest complaint is that X-Y table.? For some god-awful reason, the manufacturer chose to use 6 TPI lead screws.? That's right - 0.1667 per handle revolution.? Even 8 TPI would have been better than that - it's only easy to work out multiples of 1/2".? I was considering retro-fitting it for NC, or at least putting a DRO on it.? I don't feel it's accurate enough to justify NC-ing it, but the DRO seems like an attractive proposition practically every time I use it...
