Hello all. Very new here. Very new to machining but not new to building pistols. I've been building 1911s by hand and file for quite some time.
I've inherited at mill recently. From the research I've done it is commonly referred to as the Harbor Freight #44991 but it's stamped as Central Machinery (not sure if it matters but it came from Canada).
I've been researching mills for a while, before this landed on my lap. I've come very close to a decision on a PM-25 with a DRO. I wanted the people's opinion on what to do. Should I drop money into the 44991 mill for upgrades? Can I make it a respectable machine or should I continue research. My only desire is pistol frame and slide work.
TIA.
