Re: Mill Suggestions?

I'd be careful with Grizzly... A lot of those tools are the "Chinese knock-off copies, most of which have real problems ranging from sand-filled castings to skewed table ways to horrible backlash problems on all axes. Avoid them like the plague." that Dave Lavery was talking about. On the other hand, their stuff is really cheap. I'd look around for people that actually own the tools and see what they think. And be prepared to return defective parts. When I bought a Horizontal Band saw from them the Hydraulic Feed was completely broken. They are really nice about this, and I got my replacement hydraulic cylinder in about 5 days, and I haven’t had a problem since.
