My mill is referred to as Big read in other forums. It is a mill drill but mostly a drill. I did not come with fine feed. only two slots in the table. I built a fine feed for it and manage the lack of tee slots. It is light weight but I figure it is comparable to a small mini-mill as far as capabilities. I have mad several tools and two small steam engines with it. Some day I will get a real one but right now I will live with what I got. I bought the machine form HF for $130.00 with a warranty so I got a decent deal for a small mill. I have had it for a couple of years but am just now learning how to use a mill.

Does any one have any experience with this mill? If so I would like to hear of your experience.
