Re: What mill to buy
I was told by a machinist that morse taper is the better choice with a wider variety of tooling... or is it just a matter of preference?
I have a small mill for in the house (similar to the taig), I don't care to use it much anymore b/c x-y travels are too small & the work piece rarely fits properly. I had a small lathe once (3.5x12), changed up to a 7.5x36, which was much better to work with, but I cooked the wiring out of it by pushing it too hard ($1500 model, you get what you pay for). I'm finally gonna build myself a decent sized man cave this summer, I look forward to a bigger - better manual lathe & mill in the future.
