Nice little machine, just make sure when you start doing some milling you remove the drill chuck and mount the cutting toll into a proper moors taper that is pulled tight with a bolt. The drill chuck will come out if used for milling.
I got a whole box of bits and collets with it. :way_to_go:

I want one.......

Seems to be a decent size. Hopefully it will do anything I ever need to do.

As noted elsewhere I bought a cute little Unimat lathe. Seriously considering making a down payment on a Precision Matthews lathe.

This is the one that I continually go back to and ogle.

I think she will notice that when try to sneak that into the house.


No doubt but we are both employed and have no idea what each other's money situation is. In other words I buy what I want to, so does she. And rc planes are a fairly cheap hobby so that helps.
