Not without it's share of shortcomings, as noted in the many reviews posted here, but if you're not overly ambitious in your usage plans and manage your expectations accordingly, it's a fairly worthwhile mill.Plus, it's so tiny and adorable on the bench.

This is a fine entry level machine, a good value, designed for light work. It met those expectations and has fulfilled my needs mostly. It reliably chews out material but at a slow pace because it is a small machine. It is made in Europe, not Asia, which is a big plus to me. One might expect high precision in a small machine but that is a bit unrealistic given the price point. My only criticism of the function is the play in the table is a bit excessive, but that likely could be adjusted. It doesn’t appear to be slop in the manufacturing; I have just been too lazy to attempt to tighten the table and haven’t needed that precision for the work I have done to this point.

My experienced metal fabricating brother was impressed. We drilled pips in square steel rod to make dice, and this machine performed precisely and consistently.

I read the reviews prior to purchase. Accurate and durability were excellent in the reviews and also number one with me. One should also purchase the drill chuck as precise holes are important when working on small hobby parts.

Excelent mini mill for cutting RC carbon fiber that is 2.5mm thick. Really does extremely accurate parts up to 0.10mm accuracy and is not that loud (Even when running at 20,000rpm). Super easy to use and the stock clamps work great at holding the parts. You will likely need a HEPA vaccum and a mini cnc spoil board to not damage the xy-stage. It's pretty great value if you are into prototyping small parts quickly at a home workshop. Just make sure to get RC specific metric mill bits with shanks of aprox 3mm and carbon fiber cutting bits from 1.5mm to 3.0mm for best results.

If you buy one of these looking for an advanced Dremel you will be very happy. If you're looking for a mini Bridgeport, you may be a bit disappointed.The Proxxon MF-70 combines the utility of a Dremel with the precision of a mill. With it you'll be able to perform many operations that would be difficult or impossible holding the Dremel in your hand. Before I decided on the MF-70, I considered cobbling together a mill from a Dremel 220-01 stand and a HF X-Y vise but the Dremel stand is crap and HF X-Y vises seemed expensive and crude. I also considered getting a Vanda-Lay ACRA rig, but when you add in the cost of the adjustable X and Z axes it approaches the cost of the MF-70, and you have to add your own Dremel. In my case the MF-70 was not the cheapest option but so far it's been fun to have in the shop, and it has a lot of support if you want to go CNC. BTW I recommend picking up the 24260 precision vise, it complements the mill nicely.On the downside, the most disappointing aspect of the MF70 is that when cranking the X axis, the table deflects +/- 0.010". That's 20 thousandths total error. Using a twisting grip on the wheel rather than cranking the handle helps reduce this to a few thousandths. Tightening the gibs helps, however the motion then becomes "grabby." The Z axis scale ring hangs up sometimes which throws it off zero and causes errors. I also wish the head rotated since it would be useful to position the spindle horizontally at times.Another review mentions the Z axis has a lot of play or backlash. Most likely the problem is that the Z axis stop nut was set too loosely at the factory. Here's the fix: You'll need a 2.5mm allen wrench and a deep 10mm socket. Remove the four allen bolts on the top cover of the Z pillar, unscrew the Z leadscrew from the spindle nut, and remove the top assembly from the mill. Slip the 10mm socket over the leadscrew and tighten the nylock stop nut under the cover (it's left hand threaded so tighten to the left). Lightly snug the nut then back it off a bit so there's minimal axial play and the handwheel turns freely. Reassemble and test. The Z axis will be much tighter.UPDATE: After less than a month, and used only on weekends, the motor died. It was running fine when it went "POP", the GFCI it was plugged into tripped, and that was that. It's currently at the Proxxon repair center in NC. This is very disappointing considering I've had a Dremel for years and it's taken a beating and still runs strong. Apparently the handheld Proxxon unit also suffers from these types of failures. This review has dropped a star and will be updated after my repair experience.UPDATE 2: Prox-tech repaired the unit and it's running again. The motor and controller board were replaced. This motor is noisier than the original, similar to what other reviewers have noted, but it is tight with no excessive play as far as I can tell. Turnaround time for the repair was ~2 weeks not including shipping. Since I'm wary the motor is going to die again I've been running it at lower speeds, well off max, and it seems to be running cooler. I hope it continues to run for years because it's still a great little device and fun to use.

This is the second time I have used this thing and the poor motor just burnt up. I was making light passes on some soft aluminum and it was going fine and then i saw tiny bit of smoke come out of the top around the motor (which was extremely hot). Im very disappointed with this mill not only because it just died but ever since I got it I have been so disappointed about every aspect of it. If you think it will be good enough for you and you make "small stuff" well thats what I thought. There is almost NO room on this thing. I know the $400 price tag seems enticing but PLEASE save your money. I regret buying this thing so much. I hate to burst anyones bubble but this thing is not what it seems. Im sure Proxxon would fix it for me but that's beside the point.

Got this to mill out some N Scale aluminum locomotives bodies thereby allowing them to be upgraded with sound decoders and tiny speakers. Worked very well for this purpose. I have sent off for the kit to add Nema 17 motors given me a small CNC capability (many other things go into setting this up). This "micro mill" is sturdy enough to make this possible. Recommended.

Excelente maquina, aun cuando vibra un poco, el maneral de velocidades, no se siente muy firme, el desempeño es excelente, lo compre para trabajos de modelismo y caseros, me funciona perfectamente bien, los materiales de muy buena calidad, de metal y suave para manejarlo. Lo recomiendo ampliamente.

A very sturdy little mill, fits great in the Old Ship Yard, dose a great handy job. Wish the head could swivel as to make some difficult cuts.

Estuve a punto de regresar el artículo por un error de traducción, ya que en el manual en inglés dice 115 voltios y en español dice 230 voltios (error de traducción del proveedor)115 voltios es lo correcto

Like all proxxon tools, the motor is a bit rattle-y and not smooth as you might expect, but like the other tools, the mill is otherwise very solid.

On peut facilement faire de la sculture sur bois avec cette machine. Le bois est le matériel idéal pour apprendre à bien manipuler la machine. Une fois que l'on sait, on peut passer à l'aluminium, le cuivre et à la fin, le fer. C'est une machine bien imaginé pour le petit bricolage. Elle complète bien l'atelier de menuiserie de papa.
