No, that's a wee bit to large for my work bench.

How about from Grizzly?

I would love that. But sadly have a budget to stay with in. Looking for something used to keep the price down. Thanks

what kind of milling work/projects are you wanting to do?

Mainly shaping of some mild steel pieces. Nothing to large or heavy.

Just making sure you know the limitations of those little tabletop mills are small, especially using steel vs alum/brass. Like not using endmills over 1/4 and even then probably only taking .010 on a pass. Unless you absolutely dont have the room, id look for a smaller mills that are in the 700-1000lb range. Weight is your friend with a mill. Not trying to burst your bubble. I started with one and spent so much money trying to upgrade it to do things i wouldve been ahead finding a used bigger mill in the begining

That's definantly something to think about. Not planning on doing any bigger stuff, but you know how them plans change.....

I’ve been looking for over a year. There just aren’t many out there that aren’t projects. I’m about to the point of just ordering a new one. Good luck!

Yep, thinking about the same thing. Going to give it a little while longer though. Missed a good Grizzly that would have worked on Craigs list by about an Hour!

Not on facebook so not an option. Thanks

Small table tops are hard to find, and even harder to find that are in decent shape. If you had room for a small bridgeport you would be miles ahead.

I sure wish that I had the room. Got a two car garage that hasn't had a car in it in twelve years. I'm sure most guys know how that works.
