It now looks like I just might be purchasing a CNC mill to fit into my manual shop.

But the main problem is, which one?

I have already had good advice from John S, but it is always nice to see if other people have used the same machine I am looking to get, or even it's main competitors for a comparison.

This is the one I am looking at, and that cost figure is fairly rigid, so no suggesting anything costing a lot more. R8 spindle is the only type to be considered.

I don't have the time or inclination to build one myself, even though it would most probably be a fairly easy exercise for me to convert a machine, so please, no pokes in that direction. The one I get will be ready to run, no matter what.

No rush, this will not happen until after the Harrogate show in May. But any comments or comparisons will be gladly taken on board and very rigidly considered.
