I am considering buying a small mill. I'm looking at the Grizzlys, the Grizzly showroom is just about 25 min. from my house. Price is a consideration. I'm looking at the G8689 mini mill, and the G1005 mill/drill. The Mini mill is about half the price of the other. All of the milling I would do would be small jobs for the miniature steam engines I want to build. How would the G8689 hold up to light milling work, would I be better off to go ahead, bite the bullet and buy the larger mill??? I have a 6" Atlas lathe that I bought about 30 yrs ago. The steam engines I have build were all done on this lathe, but a mill would be nice to have as the engines I'm building now are made from castings.
