hello,welcome to the site.
i was in the same boat for a time,i liked the idea of building a vertical mill but settled on knocking up a fixed gantry mill,see image ,im fairly happy with it, its sole jobs for plastics and aluminium and it does what i want.
if i were fixed on a vertical mill now id be inclined to just convert one to cnc

Thank you deisel. I considered a vertical mill configuration because of space constraints and the material I already have available to me. I really like the simplicity of your setup and may adopt a similar setup after reading your build thread (if there is one) and seeing what I would need. Thanks for sharing and I look forward to hearing alot more feedback and advice from you and others in this forum. :-)
