Hi everybody,
I'm considering buying a desktop mill. In my country, for the same price, I can get a Proxxon FF 500/BL or a BF16 (sold by many companies). The first is made in Germany, the second is Chinese. I assume that the Proxxon is a better tool... am I wrong?
I have however still some doubts about the way the Proxxon head pivots: will that be rigid enough? In my opinion, the weight of the head will make it rotate with vibrations...
Which one will be more precise and give the best finish?
Thank you and Regards
Marco
