[QUOTE="Buck Fever, post: 1868092, member: 113501"] I have used a Shoptask combo machine which is about 1,100 lbs and it barely holds a candle to a Bridgeport. I've also used a copy of a Rong Fu column style mill drill which is a bit better for milling but lacking a knee sucks. It's about a 700 pound machine probably. When you get in to the tiny stuff, it just has a really hard time absorbing vibration. Your cuts will have to be very light and miniature tooling can cost more than full sized but common R8. If you want to drill tiny holes in circuit boards, tiny works but I don't know how much work they can do before I would get really frustrated. [/QUOTE]
