i bought one about a year ago same sale price then and been wondering when they would have it on sale again main thing with this is get the mill cheap and grab the arbors they have thier like $10 /each then it should be a good stable little machine i really don't work big stuff so this was just right for the stuff i do ....the other nice part of it is getting to learn a real mill so down the road if i want something bigger and better i have an idea of what i am doing with it

something else do a search on here someone said something about getting like 10% discount coupon from the site ...... every buck helps

ROGER THAT, Yeah I knew I should had checked out Harbor frieght out before I purchased that table. I had checked their site a week ago and it wasn,t on sale then. What kind of work are you doing with it? And if ya had a choice would you buy it again?

Ok update, I recieved the compound table. This thing is HUGE!! I definetly messed up somewhere I got the impression that this had a 6"X6" base (same size that I needed for my drill press base) and its actually 8" X 10 1/2". I clamped it down temperary. And will make an adapter plate in the morning for it. Yeah Nervis is right its not good for milling. Even through I will use it to mill the four parts I need. So yeah anyone else out there thinkin of converting a drill press to a milling machine give it up and purchase a real machine.
