Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I did a very thorough research before ordering the MF70 mill, and was impressed by the precision everyone said it has. The only complaint people gave against it was its small size and therefore limited range of use. But the price compared to other "micro mills" was also much less, so it seemed like a fair trade off. When I received mine I thought it was a bad one (previously used or tampered with) because the z-axis hand wheel had a full 1/4 turn of play. I wrote the US distributor of Proxxon and they replied that this phenomenon is common to this mill but not a problem as the machinist can work around it. The mill's description on Amazon and elsewhere clearly says there is no play in any of the axes. I interpreted this as meaning there was no play that the user could feel (since there has to be some in order for it to be able to move). 1/4 turn is quite far from that. People do use this and have good experience with it, so I don't know what the explanation is. I don't want a mill with that much play. So I have returned it and am going to spend a good deal more and get either the Sherline or Taig mill.
