Machine suggestions
Hi all!
I am in the middle of upgrading my workshop (want to try my hand at building a few air rifles among other things).
I just bought a new enco lathe (12×36) and am looking to purchase a CNC mill. I have a CNC router and am very familiar with autoCAD and CAM softwares.
My budget including tooling for the mill is around $6K. Anyone have any recomendations? I’ve been looking at the Sieg KX3 (servo model) and it looks to be about what I need. Servos are a must. Any word on these mills? They look to be one of the better far east type mills.

Thanks Walt. I know full well what goes into “making stuff”. I own a PCB manufacturing business.

TexasB would you kindly respond to your PMs so I can decide what to do with the adapter I made for you? If you ever start machining you will appreciate what it takes to make stuff.
Get back out in the garage and make those wokbutts!

Thanks for the info. I’ll give him a call. The only thing that bugs me with that model is it uses steppers.
No shit. 😀

I really don’t know anything more about them then what we see there. Chris at LMS is a good guy you might give him a call and see what he can tell you about it.
If I had the $$ it looks like a contender
Thanks Adam. Thats the one that got me looking. Are they worth a poo? I have bought a few things from the littlemachineshop before (for my 9×20 HF lathe) and they seemed good folks to deal with.

From today’s 9×30 digest:
I hate to sell it but I’ve recently aquired a Logan 10in and a Southbend Model A Precision so the 9×30 has to go to make room in my shop. Its in great condition. Standard everything, $700.00 and pick-up in Pensacola.
You can contact me at alantrest at gmail dot com if you are interested.
I’m keeping my Lathemaster Mill tho so I’m still a Lathemaster fan. <grin>
