Re: Mini-mill vs. Mill-drill?

Re: Mini-mill vs. Mill-drill?

Re: Motor protection
I'm in the process of adding a DC ammeter to mine, inline with the feed to the Fwd/Rev switch. I bought a 3amp one based on Youtube videos and it looks like it will be a good match in testing, but a 4

Re: Mini-mill vs. Mill-drill?

Re: Mini-mill vs. Mill-drill?

Re: Mini-mill vs. Mill-drill?

Oops, missing words in my last post. One sentence should be: The primary compromise I suspect most people think about with the "mill-drill" machines is that they are giving up THE KNEE.? And

Re: Mini-mill vs. Mill-drill?
