Wow thats a nice bit of kit I was looking at that mill but just couldn't make the space for one.
It'll add a lot to your capability and fun.
Enjoy

I love the little X2 but have to confess the extra mass should make a tremendous difference, plus the extra capacity of course .......... similar to the Boxford vs the 9x20 lathe, similar size but the difference is quite noticeable.
I've been thinking about a bigger mill for a while and after chatting with John (BS) a fair bit, came to the conclusion this was my preferred option. This one is 3rd hand and came with a load of extra bits, large tilting vice, R8 boring head (neither of which I've got) loads of collets, and a few other assorted bits. I don't think it's had a lot of use, everything seems smooth and quite tight and there are hardly any marks on the bed etc.
Anyway once I manage to get it back together I'll give it a try and let you all know if I've made the right choice ............... or not :scratch:
My eldest son is making noises about wanting a small mill and a lathe ......... :thumbup: ........ which is good, the downside being that replacing my dwindling workshop funds by selling the other machines might not happen ........... they may end up being donated to a worthy cause (Mrs CC's words) :hammer:

Always fancied one of those to throw a CNC kit onto.
Mind you the space would be a nice thing to have as well ::)
