    Mini milling machine

    Ok awesome, I didn’t see many decent reviews on them but something to check into . Definitely worth having if doing any amount of work. I’m on the east side on the Avalon Peninsula

    Mini milling machine

    I have a chance for $600 for a small milling/ drilling machine. Comes with collets up to 1/2”. Drill chuck, few drill bits and end mills. Also has a 4” drill press vise. Thought on it?

    Yes, the electrician told me it can be figured out, but wouldn’t worth his time. I’m going to do it eventually. Another project lol. But like he said if I get it wrong it may ruin the motor. So I have to be prepared to have to buy another new motor.
