Probably HF for the price or Grizzly for the after-sale service and support. I haven't used their mills, but the Grizzly tools I've bought so far (table saw, shaper, dovetail jig, lathe, and jointer

I'd suggest pulling and cleaning the oil pan, replacing the pan gasket and reassembling, then flush with 75% oil and 25% kerosene. Just enough revs to get oil pressure. Run about 15 minutes and drain

There's masonite and there's tempered-two-sides masonite. Use the latter. For smooth curve cutting on 1/8" stock, use a saber saw with at least 14 teeth per inch. Some models, like the Bosch, have a

I will second this strategy. However, in the case of my wife (gardener, potter, graphic artist) it can be taken too far - she's adopted my strategy of "The only bad tool decisions are not buying the
