Hey guys I've recently sold my car to buy a mill. I am getting pretty serious into knife making and plan to make various folding knives more specifically frame locking folders. I would like to buy a mill to make the process easier. Now I've done a decent amount of research and kept getting pointed to the Grizzly G0704, however I am Canadian and I don't think shipping would make it very affordable. So I am wondering if there are any fellow Canadians with experience or anyone who knows a good resource in Canada. As I said earlier I plan to cut mild steel and some thinner titanium. So far the only mill I've found in Canada that seems to have a decent amount of power is the CX601. https://www.busybeetools.com/products/milling-machine-with-digital-readout-cx601.html
Anyone have any better recommendations? I saw a lot of praise for precision Mathews but once again, it is another US based company. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated! 3-4$ is a lot to spend and I'd hate to spend it on a machine that isn't suited for what I need. I wish I had the space/knowledge to buy an old bridgeport. But that will maybe be a future investment if I ever get these knives going!
Thank you very much!
