Grizzly Horizontal mill

It is kind of cute but I cant imagine it would be much good for anything but the smallest aluminum or plastic parts, but it might be just the ticket for such items.
 
I’ve been looking at that a lot too..... too small for my needs but very interesting

Was at an auction last year where a 1960s Canadian made version sold for 35$. Oh the regrets from that auction

I think for small gear/key way that may be interesting but the lack of size makes rotary/dividing head tricky

For $35 I would have had big regrets. It is certainly a toy sized machine but so is mini mill or Atlas 7" shaper. This one is heavier then mini mill so I would be surprised if it was less capable toy.
 
It might be better than nothing, but just barely - except for milling very small aluminum parts, I guess.

-- I have a 4" shaper that is in that category.
 
Like my mini this would need a better motor but I would have snatched one up over the one I have because it is more BP styled and has greater functionality as a result. My YouTube could use a new review video, I am taking sponsorship items grizzly reps.
