Well, after using the new NM200 for about 2 months now I figured it was
time to give an opinion. I use it every day in the manufacture of small
delrin and pvc parts. First thing I had to do was build an enclosure to
contain the flying plastic chips coming off the parts. Other changes
were to cut the drawbar end to fit a 7/16 socket so I could use a
butterfly impact to change tools and make a monitor arm. To date it has
performed flawlessly for my needs. I can't say that I've pushed it to
anywhere near it's limits as I'm only cutting plastic but so far so
good.

This is my second mill from Novakon (NM135 can be seen to the right of
the NM200) and I went back because of the service I've received from
them. Before finding them I bought one of the much maligned and no
longer available Smithy lathes and had considered getting a mill there
as well but timing issues caused me to try Novakon and I'm glad I did
now.
