This is the cheapest milling machine I have seen so far: anyone got some experience with it? Any comments on the specs? I suspect someone will recognize it as an equivalent of a similar piece of Chinese machinery sold in the USA under a different name (a game I have been playing with mini-lathes recently :-)

Too good to be true?

Do not get your hopes up! There is a whole ritual to go through before money changes hands: Dancing around the mill. Licking it. Chanting incantations and possibly Lord's prayer backwards. And of course counting, always counting: Which tooth I can live without? Can I brake sufficiently well with thread on only two tires? Etc., etc.

Of course, once it is bought one has to sacrifice a virgin to it which, given the locals, is no easy task!
