Hi,
I am in the process of choosing a milling machine for hobby use.
Mainly milling aluminium, and occasional mild steel.
I intend to convert it to CNC in the future.
Part of the reason for wanting to do this is to have a useful tool, much of the reason is the learning exercise.
Space in my garage is limited so I am only looking at small bench top machines.
I do not have the knowledge to take a gamble on a second hand old Ebay purchase.
I have a few under consideration: Sieg SX2.7, Sieg SX3, Warco Major and Axminster ZX30M.
Are there others I should be looking at in this size & price range?
Out of the ones listed...
Which would be the easiest to convert to CNC?
Realistically, what level of accuracy can I expect to achieve for a reasonable price?
The SX2.7 is probably the favorite at the moment.
Would this be a good choice?
Thanks,
