Why is it that round collumn mills don't appear to be as popular to convert to CNC?
This mill looks VERY robust.... and with the free shipping and included angle lock vise appears to be the same cost as their X3 clone?

Do you have to lock the head to get the needed rigidity on this style mill?
I have no personal experience to draw on with any other kind of mill than a manual feed knee mill.
