Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I use it mainly for milling aluminum parts for 1:12 to 1:8 RC models. For this size of parts it works perfectly, I used both the 3 and 4 mm milling cutters and could take away 2 mm out of the full material with no problems. Probably even more material can be milled at once.
Despite the misleading description everything on the machine is metric (millimeters) which I consider a big plus.
It also works as an excellent drill stand. It runs very smooth and at really low noise.
The only reason why I didn't rate it with 5 stars: the compound table was delivered with excessive clearance on all parts. It is not difficult to adjust, but for example their micro compound table was delivered perfectly adjusted.
To make use of the machine you need at least order a step clamp set, milling cutters and also the machine vise is highly recommended. The machine vise (Proxxon 24255) is delivered with cap screws which are too long to fit on the compound table. I had to buy socket cap screws M6 x 16 mm.

The micro milling machine FF 230 is a small, accurate milling system used to mill, drill and countersink steel, cast iron, aluminum, brass and plastic. The headstock swivels through 360°, indicated on a scale. Height is adjusted via a zero adjustable hand wheel, also used as fine feed when milling. One revolution equals 1/32" travel, 1 division equals .002". The quill and headstock may be locked in position, which is essential when milling. The powerful permanent magnet motor drives via a poly-v-belt, yielding high torques, especially at lower speeds. The machine comes with three collets of 15/64" - 5/16" and 25/64". The solid table has a size of 10 5/8" x 3 5/32" and is T-slotted to 15/32" x 15/64" x 13/64". Important: For best results when milling, it is recommended to lock the headstock. This is easily done by the FF 230's lock levers.
