[WOODKNACK]

Im guessing it weighs less then the micro marks or homier mill. somewhere aroung 105 pound I believe. ONe thing I noticed with my homier mill is the the more you try to hog off the more the head stock wants to flex! Try this, Put a dial indicator in your chuck on your micro marks and bring it down till it just touches the table. Now grab the top of the head stock and pull it to you. I was getting aroung .030 or more flex in it! Way more then I wanted! I have seen where people have made bracketts that bolt to the headstock then to the becnch or lower unit of the mill. this would stiffen it up.
The Taig is so smooth that I can spin the not on any axis with just my fingers and make that axis table move. It almost flows it goes so smoothly. I did spend alot of time cleaning and polishing all the ways.
My homier is very hard to turn even with the handle. I spent 2 days going through it. I dont like the way the threaded rods are setup. and the nuts in it.
I have not cut no metal yet with this Taig and Im sure it will not take off as much as the Homier will at one time. But if I dont have to crank that dam handle then Im Happy.
