    Mini milling machine

    I’m a millwright by trade, hence the name, lol. Part of millwright training is machining. I have some machining work experience. I’ve used a machine same size in the picture. But regards of measuring, dialing in and whatnot I’ve been doing it for a little more then 10 years now.
