Hey guys -
I sold off some automotive parts, or have them ear marked, and I am thinking of picking up a small hobbyist mill.
I know for this money I can buy a used/older/larger machine, but the truth is I rarely make anything large. Just hobby stuff.
What are the key differences between these machines and is there anything worth stepping up to in terms of price? They're both R8 spindles. One is 3/4 HP and one is 1 HP. The G0619 has a tilting head - I almost wonder if that'll be detrimental in getting everything lined up consistently, but I have never used a machine like this to know. I don't imagine using a tilting head but then again I don't know what I'd want it for anyway. I guess to mill parts with an angle like a wedged block or something?
Any advice is appreciated!
