Anyone have one of these?

They have more than one model.I have checked out the larger model and I guess it would be ok for home hobby use. The ways seemed a bit sloppy,not sure if they were adjustable or replaceable. Is pretty much a glorified drill press. I wouldnt throw it out if someone gave one to me...

I would need to fire it up and check it out ,before I dropped any jing on it... The big importance of a mill / lathe is accuracy. I am sure the tolerance on it are not the greatest. Ya get what ya pay for...
 
I think this one is a better bet.

It was in a recent RC magazine with decent reviews if I recall. I may try that one out myself.
