OSAKI mini Mill - Will_D - 09-05-2014
Hi guys,
Maybe more aimed at the UK members:
Has any one any comments on the OSAKI mini Mill from Cromwell tools:

My drill press is nearing end of life and this would be a great birthday present!

I'm not positive but I think that is a flavor of the ubiquitous Seig X2. I'm sorry you already know all about X2's and are asking about the specific brand as I'm no help, but if you're interested "in general" there is a large amount of information available under the X2 name.

The main reason for my interest in the Osaki one is that its available in Dublin for the same price as in the UK. Other mills are naturally available in the UK but then there is the slight problem of freight!
I will keep reading.
Many thanks
