Thank you for the response.

Can you or anyone advise me on a Mill?

One i have found has a 2/3 HP motor and is set up for R8 tooling. (Most I have seen are 2-3 HP)
Its a good size unit, (2200 lbs) but i am wondering if the smaller motor will be problem and or would the head itself be lighter duty?
The most difficult work i will probably put it through would be drilling say 3/4" plate with a 3/4" drill bit.

Opinions please.
