Reviews seem decent ? I think I want to get one in the future ? since I ain't got space for a full size one. Would seem like a decent contender for RC hobby use ?

my truck to fill in holes on the body!

We had one at work . It's cheap for a reason. They aren't very precise. Lot's of play in different parts of it .

An Ex Marine here in Western New York just got arrested for making Ghost guns. I wouldn't risk it .

Well it's a 600 USD item from China so I wouldn't expect it to be very precise, as long as it gets the job done ?

New York is not a good example of gun laws. Right now they are in the supreme court getting their arse handed to them about their gun laws. Its states in our constitution that we may make firearms for personal use with out the intent to to sell. So as long as he wasnt selling then he was well within the law. Then again this is the same state that allows you to have abortions right up until the baby is delivered. I digress... let's not dive into politics.

I agree with coop about the mill.... having worked for a machine shop I was spoiled by really good equipment and have a hard time using "junk" but it depends on your level of acceptable tolerances and what you want to make. I think there is a company called grizzly that makes mini lathes and table top mills that are supposed to be rather high grade.... but they are (I would assume) much higher cost. If you want to start with a cheaper and see how it goes then trade up I would go with it. You can also check out flebay and the local adds for small used lathes and what not. Every now and then something good for cheap pops up.

Ok, depends on how much I can afford/be willing to spend when the times comes. Just checked out the grizzly (if the one I link is the right one) and it isn't a crazy lot more than the harbor Freight one that's a little smaller (2 inches)

So that will probably be what I'll get. I'd love a full size but again, no space and how the hell would I get that in the basement.
