gee you guys just love to rub it in my face how available tools are over there dont you, if we had a harbor freight here in australia i would be there every week poring through their stuff.

don i had no idea about the square vs round idea, ill have to be on the look out for that, thats the problem im haveing, because ive never used a mill i have no idea what to look for.

ray, thanks a bunch for your input, this one is listed as 340kg and 4 1/2" collum so thats ok, i guess that mostly leaves the up and down travel as the problem. Also my mistake when i say general stuff i meant general knife stuff, milling guard slots and things like that.


im hopeing to find somewhere that sells second hand machinery, because that will certainly get me a bigger machine for my money, but i guess i'll just have to wait and see.

thanks guys,
brett
