How do you think this mill stacks up against the Industrial Hobbies mill.

It is close to me so I save a ton on shipping but if I am going to buy I want to get the best mill I can. Also how hard do you think it is to cnc this machine.

Thanks

If your workpieces are small or you do a lot in aluminium that 1500 rpm is realy going to annoy you. Its not so easy to upgrade a geared head mill to higher rpm either.

Something like a X3 is a much better CNC candidate, although the working envelope is smaller.

Biggest is best only applies when you are comparing like for like.
