This thread is getting mentioned elsewhere in the inter-webs.

 I'll say it's a little unfortunate for a couple guys to be commiserating on problems experienced with particular brand in a specific scenario and unintentionally deriding the entire lineup of Mikron mills. It's unfortunate, imo, due to a low volume builder without tons of guys signing their praises, these rare sub-optimal experiences are skewing the whole story.

Manufacturer sometimes attempt to make a variety of products for different market segments and price points. Comparing an entry level mill to a high optioned one is apples to oranges.

2cents FWIW.

Yeah. That's like buying a Ford F-150 when you really needed to buy the F-350, so you return the 150, talk $#!+, and go buy a Duramax 3500.
