Re: Vertical Mill for FRC

It depends on your budget of course, but look into a Bridgeport knee-mill. You can find some pretty decent ones for not tons of money nowadays. They are bigger, but can also handle larger loads if you need them to.

Edit: If power is a concern as you stated, a Bridgeport may not be within reason. Ours is 3-phase 208volt and I'm not sure if single phase 110 can be found
