One for all you engineers out there maybe.
I'm thinking of getting a milling machine to compliment the colchester bantam lathe that I have in the garage, nothing too huge but was hoping to get something a bit larger than the little 'hobby' types that you see around (I won't be expecting to skim heads or blocks with it).
Does anyone have any recommendations regards manufacturers, what's good and what's to be avoided? Budget around £600 I guess but could be tempted to go higher for the right machine.

Regards

Neil
