Hi Steve,
I too have been pondering what size mill would suit my needs. Not
ready to buy yet but gathering info on what to write on my wish
list. Your advice seems fine but relative. What sort (and size) of
jobs are you doing? If a guy only needs to mill work up to 100mm
does that change your advice?

The Mini Mill sometimes proves to be a bit cramped for space and
travel. The Micro Mill, which is even smaller, would be very
limiting
in what you would be able to do with it. I'd probably nudge you
toward
the larger Mini Mill just to keep the predictable curses from
scaring
small children. A bit more expense, but it's also a quite bit more
machine.

Hi:
I just joined the group. I only recently became interested in
home shop
machinery and have been doing some lathe work on my 7x12
Cummins. I
plan to
buy a mill in the near future. Does anybody have any experience
with
the
HarborFreight Micro Mill/Drill that sells for $299? I already
posted
the
same question to the mini-mill group, but received only a few
responses.
Thank you.
