Hi! Just got my new drill/mill. It took a while to decide for it, but the possibility of tilting the z-axis +45/-45° seemed perfect for me to create fullers in all variations (as long as they are straight). Of course this was not the reason I bought it, but also needed a new drill, which this machine provides, too. Pretty cool gadget and still much to learn about the possibilities with it. I'm looking forward to my first fullered blade!

It's the steel on the inside that counts.

Very cool indeed! Who makes it? I might have to grab one of those myself!

Machine is a SIEG SX2L. There are several manufacturer names under that machine is sold here in europe. In my case it is "Sieg". But also available from Rotwerk and Bernardo, as far as I know. Quite a steal for not even 1000€.

Thanks! I'll have to do some searching, but I'm sure I can find one in the US.

Not 100% sure about the 45° tilting option with the z-axis. But the rest looks perfectly identical.

I'm looking forward to my first fullered blade! Good luck and have fun. I'm sure you'll post here when you have done it.

These milling machines are available on Amazon in the $600 to over a thousand dollar range depending on what you're looking for.
