'Sup guys? :)

So, after a few months of browsing the internet in search for reviews and directions about which manual benchtop mill is the best one to purchase, I've finally decided upon...

Nice one! :D

Sup, guys? :)

I've posted a thread yesterday in the "General Metalworking Machines" forum, but didn't get an answer so far, so I thought I'd refer you guys to it, since it seem more...

Dear forum members,

How are you, guys? :)

A friend of mine, which has lots of experience with conventional, manual milling machines, is thinking about buying a personal CNC milling...

You're totally right, forgive me for taking it a bit off topic.

OP, thanks a lot for all the info. :)

Looks wonderful! :) Have fun with it.

I'm wondering, though, why did you choose to place the motor that way? I mean, it seems that if you'll try to turn something with a diameter large...

Awesome, Don. Thanks a ton for all the help!

It seems that there are lots of imitations to this RF-45 milling/drilling machine. I think I might go for that eventually, you people are recommending...

Don, just saw your second reply so I called my dad's friend and he said he's using the R8. What's the difference between the two?

BTW, Hoss, boy does the G0704 looks SEXY! I've drooled all over...

Thanks a ton for the link, Hoss.

Don, you know, Rong Fu don't have the RF-45 in their web-site. :( All they mention there that seems close to it is the RF-40. Is the RF-45 out of production or...

How are you, fellas?

I just saw this company, Optimum Machines, which has the OPTI BF 30 VARIO, which's a milling/drilling machine that seems very rigid. And the best part is that this...

Don, thanks a lot for the informative reply. Just one question, though. Who are these companies? :\ I mean, for the last few days I've been doing a lot of reading and research about lathe & milling...

Dear Smithy users,

I'm a beginner in this entire machining field, and am currently looking to buy my first manual milling machine (and a manual lathe, also. But that's a different story)....

WGH

Hello again, guys.

I just wanted to know, what do you guys think about the Smithy LX-329 mill? My fathers' friend has it in his garage-based small machine shop, and I got to see it...

Thanks everyone for replying. You've just made me realize how little I know, and how every little detail counts when trying to machine to such precision levels. I should really lower my expectations...

WGH

Very thorough answer, pfred2. I REALLY appreciate it! There's one thing I don't understand, though... You said that bench-top machinery don't have the ability to reach such high precision...

WGH

I appreciate your opinions, pfred2 and ImanCarrot, and have taken everything you said into consideration. :)

It's a (weird) thing about me that when I buy new equipment, I must go for the...

Thank you guys for replying -- the links you gave me are terrific! :)

Any other comments are more than welcome.
