What mill did you end up getting, a Taig? Or maybe Sherline?
I got the townlabs 4 axis with the brushless motor, R8 spindle, zero backlash servo's, and the 4 jaw chuck/ tail stock combo. Just less than $4K shipped. Should see it in about a 2 weeks. All steel and iron, no aluminum.

Going to try to build a mini lathe attachment with it LOL. I've always heard it said that you can build a lathe from a mill


If I could only draw what I see in my head, then afford to build it, and finaly get to play with it...
