Re: What do you think of this mill?

Dean,

Based on the price of less than $1700 US dollars I'm suspicious. Too
many features at a price that seems unusually low.

Check their specifications carefully. 1-3/4" drilling capacity-in
what, plastic foam, certainly not steel? Tapping capacity, 12mm or
1/4"? Do you see a conflict between the drilling and tapping
capacities?

You'll definitely want to see a demo of the advertised features
before buying.
