27 forum posts 1 photos	Thanks everyone! Can anyone recommend a Mill/Drill. I often pass Axminster in Wycombe on my travels. Been looking at the Sieg SX2, it's about my price limit I can justify to myself at the moment. Are these machines any good, considering I'm not a machinist and will be using for home machine work and projects. I've heard decent reviews but thought it better to here from the experts... Many thanks

1766 forum posts 46 photos	Hi Rich, I have an old Sieg X2 milling machine myself, it has not caused any trouble for me. But it is a lightweight milling machine, so I use relatively small cutters, up to 12mm. There are some plastic gears in the head, so I have not pushed it. A friend of mine has a SX2 with a brushless DC motor, seems to have more torque at low speeds than mine, ARC has a version with longer table than mine have. Thor
