I'm new to machining(less than 1 year). I have an older Logan lathe and want a starter Mill. I have read a lot about the hit or miss quality on the X2. Also the spindle taper-MT3 vs R8.
I do not have the space/need/$ for a full size knee mill. Would like to be movable by 2 guys or less.
Is the HF mini the best bang for the $ ?
Is the Grizzly worth the extra $ ?
Would I loose much capability if I went with a Taig ?
Anyone in the NE US want to pass on a small mill ?
I have been checking craigslist often but nothing so far.
Any tips or leads would be appreciated. Thanks, FWest
