    My new Mikini 1610L (at least to me)

    After months of searching for a CNC mill, reading specs and more searching. Agonizing over which brand to buy. At one point, I was so close to buying a Novakon NM-200, but, they couldn't guarantee me a no problem spindle. So on I went ...looking.

    Then I stumbled on this.....



    It was delivered this past Friday

    It's used, was pretty dusty, but, cleaned up well.



    A touch screen monitor...



    I ran up the spindle to 5000 rpm and it was smoooooth

    It's a far cry from my old Emco round column manual mill...lol

    Looks great! Can I ask what you paid for it?

    Pete,
    Great looking buy!
    I too have been considering the NM-200, but you have taken the exact same route that I have ben procrastinating on. If you would please let us know what you think of your purchase as you go. I too will be stepping up from a smallish SX3 bench top model.
    Thanks for your time and info.....

    John

    I agree, it looks very nice! I don't think I've ever come across a used Mikini. Where did you find it?

    Well i haven't updated this thread since i bought my machine. Sadly, the very next day I started to have issues with my spindle and have been working on a solution with Mikini since.

    I'm not going to post my trials and tribulations....just now. Hopefully the problem will be rectified soon
