New guy here, I'm in the research point of acquiring some type of benchmill after having loads of fun with my 7x12 lathe. I would really like to start small and move up in size in a few years, but I'm worried about starting too small ( sieg x2 etc..) after reading a number of posts.
How do you guys feel about gettting say...an X2 to learn basics on, then moving on up to say a z45 for more serious milling. In addition, its looking like the Grizzly G0704, which would be another great option, might be a long wait (mid summer) and I just can't wait that long
