buy what IS SUPPORTED LOKAL!
nothing worse than needing part and you cant find it. or you cant get it serviced.
lots of junk out there. buying from reputable machine tool shop is a good deal as they will support it.
buying a "deal" cheap that isnt supported and nojuan knows which hut it was made in taiwan/korea/china is always an invitation to machine down time. and as we all know "machine no worky-you makey NO MOO-LA!"
write list of what metals you plan to work with. then you can figure out coated/uncoated carbides and tooling speeds and feeds.
call in sandvick/mitsuibishi/kennametal reps and have them test carbide grades
