    sounds like you need something like a tormach.

    If you mean PCNC 1100 or PCNC 770 then I'm looking at the specs right now. The 770 has a 1HP spindle motor and the 1100 has a 1.5HP spindle motor.

    Correct me if I'm wrong (I'm a noob so it's very possible), but wouldn't anything less than 2HP be insufficient for milling 250MPa Yield Strength steel? Wouldn't I get some bucking at low speed from the tool speed variance as each cut is made? At higher tool speeds wouldn't this result in significant vibrations? With my budget and purpose I don't think I should consider anything less than 2HP...don't you agree?
