Well this will stay a manual mill for at least 2 years. I i ever need something made, i just use the CNC bridgeport at school.
I much prefer the square column, which is why this mill attracts me.
The weight was a concern to me too actually, im guessing its about 250-275 pounds. But, i htink it looks well designed. The column alone is probably 2.5x wider than my micro mill...
The variable speed really attracts me, thats what I am used to and just cant imagine going to something with 6 fixed speeds or something like that.
I would love to buy a Rong Fu, or the ZAY from Lathemaster, but i just cant justify that cost. |
