Well, looks like you need to sacrifice something for compactness. Rigidity in this case. I only hoped that they made better coupling between lathe and mill column. Is there table with T-slots included? Or you need to buy it separately? And thanks for the video.
Hi, I purchased the FF230 Mill recently but I am not able to fit the mill bits that are less than 6mm. I am trying to purchase the standard ER collets - please can you advise which size ER collet will fit into the stock nut of the FF230? It's a bit confusing for me. I am wondering if I need to change the stock nut to the ER one as well.
I don't have the mill or the lathe anymore. But I'm pretty sure that the proxxon doesn't use regular collets and, moreover, it doesn't accept ER collets.
steel works well with this machine as long as you have a sharp endmill. Surface finish is not the best but it's doable for sure
electronic engineer that also does mechanical engineer stuff , you are like a real Iron Man type of engineer hehe
You can look the carriage with the 6mm Allen screw right side, middle of the carriage. You can see around min 7.15.
To increase rigidity, fill the round column up with concrete. I did that for my drill press.
You'd have to drill first. The column is solid steel.

He he, there's a table with tslots included but it doesn't fit the 400, just the smaller 250. One can drill and tap holes for it, but... You know...
hello, nice vid. How did you measure the adjusted hole for the fine feed? I also have a spare one for a ff230
Hey, can't remember, don't have it anymore... Sorry I can't help more

Has your opinion changed on the proxxon 400? Any new info you learn about the lathe, both good and bad ?
same question
Ihave one and is very very good and also inever cut aluminium iWork white steel its working perfect with havvy deap
