    My mill has finally arrived! (Proxxon FF400)

    Wippeee!

    The Mill is GREAT!

    Its 400w, but comparing to the RC MACHINES mill that i used before (360W, Mini mill Clone) It can cut twice as deep with the same speed. Another Plus is that its the most silent mill i have ever used, it only makes a small "bzzz" For example, if i whisper then the guy near me can hear it with ease. This is my first private mill and i can pretty much say that this is the best thing i have ever bought.

    +
    Good packing.
    Silent.
    Powerful.
    Free Hobby Book with the Purchase (LOTS OF GREAT TIPS, FROM SIMPLE OPERATIONS TO MAKING GEARS AND....)
    Accurate. (Considered to be the most accurate small sized mill)
    -
    PRICE

    I Would say This is the Ferrari of Mills

    I Bought alot of Endmills and many useful stuff aswell.

    Precision Milling vise. (Choose the wrong size but thats completely my fault, i can use it though)
    Dividing Table.
    Arbor For Gear cutting.
    Drill and Tap set.
    Clamping Kit.
    ahh i got alot more stuff :P

    I need to buy a dial indicator tommorow.

    OK Now Some PICS.

    Yeah Yeah, i know the table is messy, im usually very organized in this type of work, but today i got a "bit" excited.

    The Cost was about 3500usd, All the STUFF.

    PS: The Dividing table wasnt attached with studs, It was attached with bolts, but i had to rotate the rotary table to find the holes.

    FF400

    Hi,
    The Mill looks great.

    What is the FF400 Accuracy?

    I couldn't find it anywhere... The FF500 Is stated as "Up to 0.05mm" So I assume its +-0.05mm.

    Thanks,
    Ron.
