Yep, the MiniLathe and MiniMill Chinese import cast-iron tabletop machines
are tremendous values. Larger than either the Sherline or Taig machines,
and far less expensive. No bolt-on CNC for them yet, however.

The Grizzly MiniMill has an MT3 spindle. The exact same machine is
available from other dealers with a more standard R8 spindle.

Check harborfreight.com, homier.com or grizzly.com for info on the 7x12
MiniLathe amd Mill. micromark.com carries a new 7/14 MiniLathe, as
well as the MiniMill.

Frank Hoose has a terrific website dedicated to these machines. He
evaluates the entire line, from an un-biased user perspective.
