I have a chance to get a Top Tech DM-45 with a R-8 spindle with tools, vice, stand at a very low price (Sub $1000).
There is little information on the web about these mills, and I would like it if anyone has info on it.
It seems to be a favorite for doing CNC conversions, but I have zero interest in converting to CNC.
Any tidbits you know will be useful... such as "is the gearbox Metal Gears?". One article brags about "quiet gears" which
on mini-lathes is often a code word for "plastic gears".
