Default Re: What vertical mill to buy?

Main thing I can tell you is buy the largest machine you can afford. Buying a cheaper, smaller machine will leave you wanting more when you want to make something that is too large for your machine. I still regret selling my 1st bench-top mill as I had quit using it and figured I would not need it anymore. Went with Sherline equipment and have been very satisfied with them until I need to make parts for the RC semis and construction equipment. I have upgraded the mill to its limit and it is still about 2 inches too small to make the necessary parts.

Hope this helps!!
