    Reliable Taig Dealers

    Hi,

    I was not sure where to ask this question on this forum so I'm posting it here:

    I'm looking into buying Taig Mini-Mill 2019CR-ER. I found these two:

    www.cartertools.com and www.lococnc.com - they seem to have good prices and appear legit.

    I would like to purcahse a new machine.

    Also, I would really appreciate your advice on extra kits that come with it - I want to have everything I need to get going out of the box (i.e table vices, collets e.t.c)

    I have HobbyCNC controller (from my DIY machine) that I would like to use with it too. As well as three 285# motors.

    I'm somewhat beginner in wood/metal working, so I could use some help.


    Thank you.

    Both are legit. Can't go wrong with Nick Carter, he is very good about supporting his sales, and has a lot of good information he freely shares. Don't know much about LocoCNC though, sorry.

    Also another thumbs up for Nick, and I can also say I've had a less than stellar deal with Loco as the communication was seriously lacking. Nick is always there to answer your questions.
