A Haas VF-2 milling setup I ran in university. When I finally get a garage again I am going to buy a small milling machine. It has been on my wishlist for a long time. But, before I purchase anything, I should figure out what my options are first. This is a list of various milling machines that interest me. My criteria are fairly basic. It must be rigid and robust. It will hopefully have a large cutting volume and as much horsepower as possible while running on 110V AC. I would like it to be CNC but digital readouts and X-axis power feed are more realistic. There will not be any toy CNC milling machines on this list. Must be able to rip through aluminum easily and cut steel even if only on a limited basis.
