I just got mine a lil while back and mine came with this 1/2 inch drill chuck it's not the best but it'll work till I can buy a more precision chuck
Hi again,
Didn't get a chance to order mine last week, general life/dad/spouse responsibilities took center stage.
While I'm here I have to ask, what is the expected depth of cut on say mild steel? Let's assume .5 end mill. I know other factors can contribute to an exact answer, but one of the big reasons for moving on from the little Atlas mill and Jefferson mill was due to the very light cuts that I was forced into making with those two machines. And honestly those light cuts drove me bananas, not counting the super small work tables.
I've searched around and seem to only find results related to this machine for cutting aluminum. For whatever reason, all of my projects seem to revolve around steel.
This would be more than satisfactory and has me looking to save just a little bit longer for the pm940. I'll buy once, cry once!!5/8" hogger end mill (corn cob type) an inch deep in mild steel without a problem.

FWIW, .050 to .075 was my limit on the Jefferson. It was painfully slow.
Exactly.I will admit though that I normally didn't push my mill that hard on a regular basis, but it was nice to know that I could do it if needed.
