    I am after buying a mill but would love some thoughts?

    Hi

    I am after buying a mil, I have a lathe and now no alot about them, but mills are a new thing for me and would love some sergestions on what to do

    I have some cash coming so will be getting it very soon, I want to be able to buy one and the cutting bits needed so I can get going on making some parts.

    Now I have been looking at the

    SIEG X2 Mini Mill as I see it has a column that tilts to 45° Left & Right

    or

    ZX30M Mill/Drill as it looks a little bigger

    or even http://www.axminster.co.uk/product-P...ead-782633.htm

    I live in the uk and just dont have a clue on what to get I recon I could reach a total of £600 I dont even mind if its secound hand as long as its in good condition and a good mill.

    Can any one help, maybe on what to get or where to get one on deal with extras
