    I considered their manual mill when I first wanted to get into CNC but then realized that a manual mill makes no sense for anything really anymore. Anything short of a CNC is a waste of time.

      There's a lot to be said for a manual approach for certain tasks.

      For an extreme example of partisanship on this, see the Youtube channel "Inheritance Machining"

        I would also recommend "Artisan Makes" and "Blondiehacks" if you want something less stylized & scripted.

        Plus their machinery is a bit more realistic for a hobbyist.

          Blondihacks is a favourite along w/ Clickspring and Pask Makes. Haven't found occasion to watch Artisan Makes yet, but it is queued up for the future.
