For those with limited space and funds this little miller is good value for money. It does have one fault however which is significant if you intend undertaking accurate work.The table (X axis) traverses smoothly and without any free play when the traverse handwheel is rotated. But as soon as a vice, rotary axis or any other fixture is bolted to the table - even with minimum force - the table develops an alarming amount of yaw. This can only be eradicated by adjusting the gibs. Then when you come to remove the fixture you must first slack off the gibs or have the table seize up! So this rather tedious process has to be repeated continuously. Well, I can put up with it,but I think Proxxon should get this problem sorted as it is, otherwise, a nice little machine.The 3mm Proxxon end milling cutters (ref 28722) seem to have a raised central nib on the bottom cutting face. This does not facilitate good machining on metals. I recommend the RS Components 3mm four flute carbide endmills which cut beautifully and are very good value for money.One final little moan, the collets supplied with the MF70 cover a reasonable range of diameters. But the 2,4mm collet is too small for a 2,5mm drill (M3 tapping size - used often) and the 3,0mm is too large. Proxxon - please note!

I know this is a small machine, for small work, but there's one thing that drove me nuts with it -- and this is also common to many other machines -- the handwheels are too small a diameter.I am a professional scale modeller & very used to using small and delicate machines, but to get a smooth vertical feed when the gibs are correctly set is difficult. I've made an extension lever for the top feed wheel, which is a huge improvement. The extra leverage means that fine & smooth control is easily possible.I would also like a collet chuck up to 6mm, not for 6mm cutters, but for 6mm shanked small cutters (but that's my problem -- I have many miniature end mills with 6mm shanks).Overall,a good machine but with a definite limit to the materials you can work. It's possible to get good results on brass or aluminium, but only VERY fine cuts can be taken without vibration. Don't attempt to cut steel.With hindsight, I should have gone for the (rather more expensive) FF230 Micro Mill...

More than happy with this new addition to my collection for model making and is very accurate I would reccomend this to anyone who wants a small but versatile machine.
