Does anyone or have any experience with mini mills?
I need a good drill press but these things have sort of caught my eye as they would be good for machining up small parts and fittings on. I have zero machining experience, only ever done welding and fabrication of heavy steel plate and the TIG service which I have been running out of my back shed for about 7 months now.
Any advice on this sort of shit would be appreciated.

Not personally, but I think those ones have been used for small scale CNC work, so must have decent rigidity; for soft metals at least. With no machining experience, I recommend taking a course, during which you'd probably learn a lot more about what size machine you require.

Probably need something bigger then that but space is limited to a 3x3.2 shed and half that space is already taken up with a welder/dropsaw/benchgrinder and also a FZR1000 which needs to hurry up and get finished. I have switched trades to engineer at work so basic machining experience is coming but im probably going to specialise in heavy diesels. Might just get a basic book and start reading about it, thats how I got started up welding before paying some cunt to teach me properly.
And yeah I have seen the CNC conversions of this machine. Farken nuts. I would rather a CNC plasma cutter though

Appologies for the double post cunts, but I just found this Jem on trademe. Keen as fark on buying it but just need someone to buy my old welder and FZR1000 race fairing set so im not completely broke for xmas.

1500 for a machine that size that includes a couple of vices seems like a bargin.

Ya know, if I was in auckland and a bit of a cunt, I'd probly hit buy now and save you the trouble....
So in interests of being a GC instead, what's your old welder specs?

160amp DC ARC/TIG
40amp Plasma Cut
60% Duty
37v OCV
Its a good little machine. Only shit thing is it can't do ali and I needed that, got 4 times more jobs coming through the door now I have that capability. As far as sheet metal goes its excelent. Retails for 1000 bucks brand new. Has a new heavy duty torch and lead.
Dont be a shit cunt, be a sick cunt!

In the market for an AC tig myself, so can't help you there.

Personally if you have access to 3 phase power (your a lucky bastard if you do) in your shed I would save for a 3ph AC/DC.
They are extremely bulky but weld way better than single phase and you get a larger amperage range alowing for thicker materials and rods. Single Phase is good enough for me though, does the jobs I need easily. Cost $2500 though! expensive hobby!

No 3phase in my shed, so looking at an XA-TIG200PXP with pedal for 3k. No plans to do any thick stuff so not worried about large amperage.

Yea, What e says,
Once a machine is winched back onto its' feet, shouldn't the injectors be removed and the engine spun over to check for no oil buildup between the piston and head?

The compression will force the oil out.....somewhere.
