Trying to get an idea from people who may have owned or operated or even experienced a Smithy 622 as to what it's performance could be compared to in relation to other available mills on the market.

It looks close in specs to a Syil X4+ , buy what about performance, capability, rigidity, durability etc..

I read a document online stating that the 622 was in it's own class, beyond the usual suspects in the bench mill category but a ways below the Bridgeport class undoubtedly.

A good friend of mine has been looking at one for some time now and he's just not sure yet.

thanks,
