    Harbor Freight or Little Machine Shop

    Currently with the sale and a 20% coupon I can purchase the Harbor Freight 44991 for $440.00.

    The solid column Little Machine Shop version is currently on sale for $600.00.

    Any suggestions on which would be best to purchase?

    At some point I plan to attempt a CNC conversion.

    harbor freight mill is a joke. the $160 difference is cheap when you consider the extra time involved tinkering with it, speaking from experience

    edit: I thought you were talking about the HiTorque mill, so I went on their website and found that they have a new mill called the seig x2d for $600. It seems the only difference it has compared to Hitorque is a smaller spindle motor
