How to start

Welcome, I understand the attraction very well.

What's your budget, approximate size of the largest component you can think of to be made.

"mill aluminium, for the audio things"

I will go out on a limb and say a bench top mill will fill your needs, nicely. The right one, as in geared transmission and a dovetail column are a couple of things to know.

Mill vise 250 - 1000, don't let that scare you. Thinking about audio things a lower priced vise should suit.

We have a few members that live in Austria ... that may help with what's available locally to you.

Personally I'd say buy new, or learn a load about mills before you get serious about purchasing used.


KF 20 mill .. Willie makes a good suggestion,

KF30, 100 bucks more even better. I think a mill the size of the KF 30, I would want the column to be a dovetail design.

Anyway these are most likely in the right ballpark for what you plan to machine.

Cheers,
Greg
