I cannot get a larger mill and I would love an older hobby sized mill. If I can have some more patience and take lighter cuts, will the JET still chatter or will that then be ok?
I have no first hand experience with that particular Jet mill, but I am quite confident that it would require much lighter cuts. The mill WILL cut metal, but think of it this way... It will be better suited for milling 1/4 slots in an 1/8" aluminum bracket vs milling 1/2" slots in a 3/4" bar of steel.
