i have exactly the same mill but branded under the name elite from garant in levis quebec i must say that i am more then happy with it the only con that i think it as is the fact that its a mt2 taper wich is not as common as the regular r8 taper but the overall built of this mill is really good it offers excellent regidity and performance and with the option of been able to get a longer table it is more then a good candidate to be converted to cnc
here is the site of the company that makes them in china

I ask because for certain design work I will need to use a 7/8" dia endmill and ball endmill. I'm sure there must be some reduced shank type endmills that will work with shallow cuts and lubrication on 6061 aluminum.
