The Taig Milling Machine

I use both the manual and CNC versions of the Taig milling machine and feel that they are an excellent option for the shop needing a small milling machine of low cost and high quality. The ER16 spindle allows tooling up to 3/8" to be utilized. Proudly made in the U.S.A.!
Taig now offers a ball screw option on the CNC ready and CNC mills! This page also has pricing for the CNC lathe versions, as well as conversion kits, etc.
