Medium Sized Milling Machine? DR_G 02-03-2008

Hello again,

I have been designing an building a small CNC 3 axis table type machine
for
cutting out model aircraft components from wood and foam.

This got me thinking about getting a medium sized mill and possibly
adding cnc
control at some stage to that so I could use it for cutting
metal.

My question is: what is a good, cheap (in used form!), small to medium
sized
mill? Something to complement the ML7 lathe in terms of size (I am
quickly
running out of space).

Thanks,

Garth.

Garth - I wish you lived closer.

I have a Sherline 5400 Mill sitting in my garage that I picked up used
and never
managed to use. I'm looking to get rid of it. It's fully
qualified and ready to
be converted to CNC.

Any ideas on the best way to sell this thing?

I'm possibly interested in TRP's Sherline 5400 mill.

Or something of that ilk / capability.
