Your smoking crack man!
I know someone that has that grizzly in the link above, it is utter garbage. Their "small" mills suck donkey balls! Well they did anyway. Maybe the newest one's are better?
My Sherline is getting out of wack because of my own ignorance. It is actually a very solid mill for it's size. The weakest link is the Z axis. The backbone is not as strong as I would like. But everything else is good.
Anyway looking at
www.grizzly.com (which is where I buy some of my end mills because they are only 300miles away
) this is the one that compares to mine and is in his price range
http://www.grizzly.com/products/item...9&site=grizzly I know someone that has one and it sucks! The table is utter garbage and it doesn't have the specs mine does. Doesn't have nearly enough X/Y travel.
There is non I see there around $600 that is worthy enough.
Althouh this
http://www.grizzly.com/products/item...7&site=grizzly little guy maybe a #Rotor style block dream machine.
Drills and mills.
This is a nice machine here:

I don't like the low RPM though, but the "Tapping" features are nice.
I was looking at one of these
http://www.grizzly.com/products/item...2&site=grizzly
when I was looking for mills. I could have bought it for the same as my mini CNC. Unfortuneatly I have no room for it. My little CNC is ran out of my bedroom in my Apt!
It's a good little mill though. If I want a bigger mill in the future the CNC stuff can be transfered over. The stepper motors are plenty strong for a larger mill. But I am slowly gettin out of milling blocks as there really isn't much need for it anymore. It is entirely possible to make a block perform near if not aswell as the WW withOUT milling!
