Think again Jimmy!

Well drat. Maybe I'll look into that tomorrow morning (phone posting at work).

Still no response from the Sherline tools. Have you heard of Taig? I didn't know until recently that they're out of Chandler. Their basic mill is ~$900 and is supposedly much more rigid than the Sherline one. It also uses ER collets which is miles better than the lock nut holders on my Sherline.

I had a Taig mill that I converted to CNC before my current machine. It was great and I highly recommend it. I have also used a Sherline and the Taig is certainly more solid. The ER collet system was great as well. The only reason I upgraded was always running out of HP trying to cut big chunks of steel.
