Anybody have any experience with the CNC Masters CNC Jr. mill? The machine looks pretty impressive on their website but you would expect it to.
Here is the link.

Thanks in advance.

I would stay away from any round column CNC mills. There are many square column CNC mills available that will give you much more Z axis travel and much more accuracy.

For that much $$, you can purchase the $900 full-size in the other thread and put on a PC-BASED control / amplifier system and have a real machine.
