Harbor Freight Micro or Mini???

on 2004-01-14 11:16:34 UTC

Seems to be a lot of talk of the Harbor Freight (Cetral MAchinery)
Micro Mill/Drill machine (47158-1VGA) as a low cost entry machine.

What are your thoughts on the slightly larger Mini (44991-1VGA) from
HF? I am going to purchase one of these machines for my first home
mill and CNC conversion. Currently my local HF has a sale on these
machines for $279 and $399 respectively. Is the larger machine worth
the extra $130 in your opinion?

Thanks for any feedback you may have.
