I have recently moved far out of the machine shop and into the realm of sales (eek). However, in an effort to keep some of my skills up and for just plain tinkering, I plan on purchasing as small and cheap a milling machine as I can.
I have found access to a cheap jig bore, though. And I have no experience with one of these. It does appear, though that the table travels in 2 axes, leading me to believe that it might do for a mill on a tight budget.
Can anyone help me decipher the critical disadvantages of using this machine in applications that I traditionally would've accomplished on a milling machine?
