It is certainly NOT by far, better than a Grizzly. Yeah, they arent precision machines but I can cut much thicker stock and faster without the column shaking like its going into seizures on speed,like the Sherline did. Glad I sold it and bought a Grizzly...best $500 I could spend on a small mill.

maybe they are hit and miss? The table came stock with .010 worth of slop in both axis on the one I seen, and NO it does not have as much travel as my sherline!
