When you see the HF Mini Mills for more than the HF price what do they come with for tooling?
You can easily spend 3 x the price of the mill on tooling.
They just might actually be a good deal.
No, no tooling at all, not even the drill chuck or the few "tools" they were sold with. This example was a Harbor Freight X1 with a few dozen drill marks in the table - $500.00. I'm liking the LMS version and I'll probably end up getting it if I can't find anything reasonable soon. Around here someone with an old, worn out, sitting out in the rain and snow for a year South Bend 9C want's $2K for it, because it's an antique, and he knows what they are worth. I am finding it is actually cheaper, by more than a little, to buy new and pay shipping than to buy used around here. Folks around here get hold of a machine tool and they think they have a gold mine and gateway to early retirement. Frustrating for a guy like me on a very tight budget.
