help on buying first mill

[alybaly]

Hi guys, i want to buy my hubby a mill for his Xmas, he wants to be able to fabricate his own parts for his 1/5Th scale rs cars IE suspension arms, bumpers etc. so i thought a mill would be the ideal tool for the job (and a couple of lumps of aluminum), the one i am looking at is the draper 34023, would this be the rite piece of kit for the job or am i way off? If i am on the rite line is the draper 34023 any good as i have not found any reviews on it yet, cheers all info is much appreciated

For that money buying new all you will get is junk look on ebay for something old. I bought a new warco lathe a few years ago and it was rubbish, ended up buying a 1950 boxford and scraped the new one
