Also be realistic while a $600 vice would be great would a smaller imported one be almost as good ? My suggestion is buy tools as you need them, if you don't have a project that needs a ball end mill don't get one. So likely you will spend $300-$500 on tooling to use the mill. When you get a mill expect to spend as much on tooling as you did on the mill. I still wear hearing protection.Īnother thing that is not mentioned in many places is the larger machine, the larger the tools, the more expensive it will be. I selected a Harbor Freight "Mini-Mill" with one add on the belt drive (from ) in my mind it is a requirement, the gears are really noisy. So no knee mills that weigh 2,000+ pounds. Third was size, I needed to put in into my basement. I'm not making items that my life depends on or will be used in a commercial setting. Second was expectation, I'm not going to be making huge things, 3-6" max size, also my tolerances are not very tight. I wanted a mill that I could afford, for me that meant non-CNC and R8 tooling since there is lots of cheap tools available. There is a ton of information about getting a mill for various hobbies.

Also, make friends with your local machinists, they will often let you on to play with their software after hours. There is also metals express (google it) and online metal supply, however shipping is a killer and aluminum prices are going through the roof. There is a local metal supplier that I use (search for alcobra metals)(call your local shops and ask if they know of any local metal reseller, they will usually sell scrap to us hobbiests) I have put probably close to 500 hours runtime on my mill in the year and a half that I have owned it.
