Default micromark lathe/mill?

Does anyone know anything about these on www.micromark.com? Is this an inexpensive start or a waste of money? Go to the site and type in mill then lathe.

Those are essentially the same Chinese machines you can get at Harbor Frieght and just about everywhere else for less money. Micro Mark's customer service is very good however.

I seem to remember they have true english leadscrews and the other chinese copys are metric.

Only 12% sure on that, but it's something to research. I notice the "true english" on the mill pic.

IMO those mills with the dovetailed column are much nicer than the bigger mills with round columns but they are smaller than most round column mills.
