I'm new to this forum, but have been watching the classifieds for a little while now. I am looking for a mini-mill to enable me to make and modify parts for my radio controlled off-road buggies.

Are there any brands better than others? Warco? Clarke? Unimat?

I'm only after a small mill, 240v, but I want something decent quality. Any pointers gratefully received!

Thank you

Hi Tim,

Welcome to the forum. In addition to the brands you mention Arc stocks Sieg milling machines.

I have the Sieg SX2P which I,ve found to be quite a capable mill for a small hobby machine, 500 watts output and certainly punches above its weight. Its been 100% reliable and accurate, its also decent quality.
