Thanks Peter,

I actually recieved a brochure from them today and the milling machines all appear to be of german manufacture ( optimum range ), I have to say they appear to be of a much higher quality although more expensive than the usual imported alternatives, I appreciate that brochures are no replacement for actual experience and would therefore be grateful to hear of anyone who has had use of these machines,

I,ve also been looking at the Myford VME but this appears to be identical to other machines available but at a higher cost, Can anybody clarify that the machine has quality differences worthy of the significant extra cost. I am aware of the usual Myford quality but this machine seems remarkably similar to others offered.

Regards

Dave

I like several others it appears on this site need any advice I can get regarding the purchase of a milling machine, After reading the articles on this site and my own research I have come across a company called Excel Machine tools,

Does anybody have any experience of using their machines, They appear to have a very extensive range however the model engineering size machines in my eyes appear to be very similar to all the other suppliers, I will add I have no milling machine experience at all.

Any help at all would be appreciated.
