I know it`s not "Real Modder`s" milling, but.....
Anyone got experience of these?

Can`t see myself having a milling mc, but I often need offset holes in tube, spotfaces, recesses etc.......

Are they worth the money?

HS93:
Any chance you could graft your drill on to one of these, prob only need a flange with a tube welded on , and yes they are a bit dearer but prob a bit more versitile, just a thought

Not for that price it isn't.

I think this bit in the advert says it all

Axminster do ones just as bad, but a lot cheaper.

They really are lumps of junk. But they are a cheap source of cast iron for making things out of.

Unless you pay for a reasonable quality one it is not worth the bother. They can go up in price, the more quality you require.

Then you would need a decent small vice.

Don't be tempted to use your light drilling machine as a small weight mill. It just doesn't work, no matter what anyone tells you.
You may just about get away with plastics and small non ferrous parts, but not that accurately. The quills are just not made to take the side loads.

I helped with one of those conversions, and it was far from successful.
