Today I am going to be giving my thoughts on my Mini Mill that I have been using for almost half a year now. I bought it near the end of May 2021 and I have used it almost every day, making many little projects and lathe upgrades, many I have shared here on he channel.
Having used long enough, I now feel comfortable sharing my experience with this mini milling machine. Ill go through its specs, capabilities and quirks, as well as the pros and cons that I have run into. I will also try and give an assessment to the question, is an import mill like this worth it. I will also try and compare this mill to the more popular, but smaller Sieg X2 and SX2 variants, and detail why I chose this mill over those.
They are a large investment and still run the risk of quality issues. I hope you find this video useful.
Cheers.
Mill: Sieg X2.7L
Lathe : Sieg C3 7×14 Mini lathe

Here is an in-depth review and the performance test of the Atomstack A5 20W laser engraving machine. I will test performance of this laser engraver by engraving wood, wood laser cutting, cutting acrylic (plexi glass), hardwood and engraving anodized aluminium.

I already reviewed this machine, but I wanted to do some standard engraving and cutting tests which I will use to compare the different laser engravers.
Machine supports LaserGRBL or Lightburn software.
