I can get this to my door for about $1724.
I want to work on small parts occasionally
But they need to be accurate with some pretty tight tolerances.
Will this do the job and is it a reasonable price?
Keep in mind I am in Alaska and have limited sources for these types of equipment.

I have a small import like that I find it wont do over 1 inch holes without tripping internal breakers . it requires keeping the gibbs in proper adjustment constantly to keep any accuracy . but it does work for small stuff as long as im willing to take my time and go slow I do wish I saved a few more dollars and got a bigger or nice old one

You can get a full CNC sherline for about the same money. I have one of the import mini mills and my Sherline will work circles around it not to mention that the quality of th Sherline is about 1000% better. Don't let the small size fool you as these micro mills can do pretty big work only you have to go slower than with a larger mill. The Sherline can be made larger. Look for Sherline 'Monster' mills to see some examples.

Thanks to both. I'll check on Sherline.
