Proxxon Micro MF70 milling machine
One of these popped up locally.
I've see variable comments on line and debating the longer term usefulness of something, while near new, that I might outgrow.
So new and accept limitations or older solid Brit made but possibly requiring some refurbing?
I'd be using it for making steel (maybe some brass) components for antique flintlocks etc
Your thoughts appreciated.

I think they are marketed as model makers machines.

Ah! Sounds as if it'd be too light for my possible needs.
It's local so attracted my attention
My thanks

Get one of the small Chinese machines by Warco, Amadeal, sealey etc. they come up regularly on sites like E Bay, FB etc. Pretty good if set up correctly.
Vastly superior to the Proxxon machines, which are just too small for anything other than really tiny stuff.
Probably need to budget £500 or so for one of the smaller ones.
