| Hello, new guy here. I'm starting to look for a hobby mill for myself. Since this thread seems to fit my needs I decided to first post here. I do a lot of car work and enjoy fabrication and maching (although machining is quite limited atm). I have been browsing through the threads here and this seems to closest fit my wants. I'm looking for a mill with about 18" or more of X travel, probably around 6" (or more) of Y, and 6" or more in Z. The Vario BF20 looks like it fits the bill as does the Grizzly G0619. However, I am looking for a mill that I can move around without TOO much hassle. Building a bench isn't that hard and could be made with weight considerations in mind. However, to top that all off I definitly want to upgrade the mill to CNC in the relatively near future. I really don't know what is involved in converting it and was hoping that someone has some links on hand to show me what is all needed. |
