Default Re: What mill to buy

Review a past post on this subject.
I know a guy with a Sherline and he likes it but it takes forever to mill larger pieces that will fit on the table. He did have to send the table back and get a new one because it wasn't machined properly. He uses BobCad software for programming. If I was looking at a bench mill, I would try to go a tad bit heavier .

I have a Sherline lathe and also a Sherline mill. They are very good quality machines but... they are very small. You would probably be happier in the long run to get a larger machine.
