I'm about to spend more than I can afford on a 626 milling machine and I want to fit a power feed to the x axis. I'm considering a cheap and cheerful "handbag" style one, lots available at around £140. Any advice, comments etc from anyone who has tried one would be most welcome.

Thanks, William.

Something to watch out for is that most of the ones I have seen need a 110v supply so the cost of a transformer will be a factor to add on.
