Proxxon DP vs Mill

[HMH Racing]

I am wanting to purchase Proxxon drill press. While researching I keep being drawn to the Proxxon mill machine.

Does anyone know if the accuracy is that much better with the mill machine?

How well does the Bullet work with the Mill? (it does not look like the is much of a "table" for the bullet to sit on)

Thanks

i had this same question just a month ago when i was deciding on which to buy
I went with the mill, and so far im happy with my decision but i havent used it much yet

Here's a video of the Silver Bullet and the X-Y table usage. I know this shows the Proxxon drill press, but the very same table is used with the Proxxon MF70 mill. Enjoy!

Thanks Guys, I believe you have made my mind up. I was a little worried the table may not work too well with the SB, but the video and chat with Derby chip helped ALOT. Thanks again

We may need our own little support group for this mill.

I'm leaning towards a Mill too. My drill press is terrible.
Just cannot decide between the drill and the mill. Best place to buy and needed accessories?

Thanks

As fast as you are, you don't need a mill; your drill press seems to be working fine...Just sayin'
