Default What are the size limitations of mini mills?

Unimill, sldo one I
believe was named an 0-16A, and perhaps many more. I don't really know, but
I've run the two mentioned and would recommend them highly to anyone
interested. They are not toys, were intended to do serious work with good
results. The Unimill had a tilting head as I recall, but the 0-16A did not.
That would be one negative, but otherwise it's an excellent choice. Nice
thing about it is it's small, and would lend itself to your minimum space
requirements and still do serious work.


While the 0-16A is smaller in height and slightly smaller in footprint
than a BP...it is one heavy heavy old bitch. But yes...thats one hell
of a smaller mill. But its not a benchtop....lol..not at 1900 lbs.
Maximum tool diameter is 1/2", with the collets being a bit dear and
rather rare. If you find one..be sure the collets are there, at least
the common sizes, such as 1/4, 3/8/ 1/2".

Fortunately mine came with a complete set.

"By calling attention to 'a well regulated militia', the 'security' of the
nation, and the right of each citizen 'to keep and bear arms', our founding
fathers recognized the essentially civilian nature of our economy. Although
it is extremely unlikely that the fears of governmental tyranny which gave
rise to the Second Amendment will ever be a major danger to our nation, the
Amendment still remains an important declaration of our basic
civilian-military relationships, in which every citizen must be ready to
participate in the defense of his country. For that reason, I believe the
Second Amendment will always be important."
