Threaded View

currently I have a denford triac and starmill, ive not used the starmill since the day I purchased it. it needs a mach conversion and ive just not got round to doing it.
I seem to be doing a fair amount of wood work these days and I do everything on my triac. so im thinking of selling the starmill and purchasing a more suitable mill for wood.
im aware there are many of these Chinese 6040 cnc mills around, are they any good? what sort of back lash do they have? what sort to depth of cut and speed can you get with them?
on my triac when machining oak I use an 8mm end mill, 3mm depth of cut at f300.
if I wanted to go bigger than a 6040 what options are there?
I also want air cooled spindle and Esmooth stepper
all thoughts welcome
