Machinist wants small mill for home projects
I am a full time machinist who likes to work on my own projects at home. This compound table was the only thing I could find to add some flexibility of x and y movement on a drill press. I would not try to do any super precise work on this. It’s good for home projects. I had to take it apart, work on the x axis acme screw so that it didn’t bind every rotation of the hand wheel. I greased all the slide ways. I did file the edges of the table as well. It certainly will require some work when it arrives if you are fussy like me. I have made m12 tie down studs and will weld the square nuts to the studs. I plan on adding a small 4” milling vise to this table. This will give me flexibility at home to work on tractor parts and other small projects. Read full review...

Drill Press Conversion
I purchased this x/y plate to mill with my drill press. Unfortunately the y-axis handle extends below the table base, which requires a the need for a small mounting baseplate. I will need to add a 1" spacer plate or cut away the mounting plate fasten. If the rotary knobs we're a smaller diameter design would be helpful for versatility with other applications.Read full review...

Compound Table
Without having set it up for use under pressure, the compound seems to be reasonably constructed. It is cast iron, as one would expect, of course the density of the casting is a determining factor in the quality and this seems to be medium density. The accuracy under pressure has yet to be determined. The ways are standard and adjustable, while the screws seem to have around .025 or so leeway. All of the accuracy will be revealed after set-up. Overall, I would say it's a very good value for the money. A higher degree of quality would be quite a bit more costly. And so this compound is quite workable. As far as durability, that is yet to be seen. AGRead full review...

Compound milling table
Inexpensive compound table is ready to mount and use. But if your expecting a high quality finish this is not it, but it is functional. I’ve used it for a week now and it has done the job that I bought it for.Read full review...

Heavy duty, large dials, ball bearings. Floating dials hard to move due to adhesive tape between the dial and housing instead of friction spring. Meta
Heavy duty, large dials, ball bearings. Floating dials hard to move due to adhesive tape between the dial and housing instead of friction spring. Metal dust/chips between moving parts. NEED to take apart, remove the adhesive tape, clean and re-assemble to work smoothly. May need adjustment of moving parts to prevent binding/rubbing. Otherwise I wood give 5 STARSRead full review...

Compound Milling Machine Work Table 2 Axis Cross Slide Bench Drill Vise Fixture is a good deal.
The Compound Milling Machine Work Table 2 Axis Cross Slide Bench Drill Vise Fixture is not a Bridgeport, but for the home shop at this price point it is well worthwhile. The movement graduations are 1/10 a millimeter or .004 inch so getting right to the last thousanth of an inch is not going to happen. I installed 1 inch travel indicators on the X and Y axises and was able to make movements that were very close to .001 inch accuracy.
This tool has limitations but gets the job done. After using it for a few months I am still happy with my purchase.

Better than expected
Based on the price I knew this would be rough and need some work to get it moving well but it was actually better than I expected. Needs cleaning, filing/sanding, and oil/grease, but overall I'm happy with the quality for the low priceRead full review...

Imported precision tooling
My recommendation comes with the experienced person in mind. This product came with a partial assembly. Every component had to be tightened and adjusted. It was also missing the keys and lock bits to hold the hand wheels on. After considering the product. It's value is based on what you recieved. You will not find or buy a tool such as this for the money involved is foundational precision seems to be adequate for most work. It is made from gray cast iron and seems very rigid. It's ways seem to be machined very precisely and when gibs are adjusted properly the fit is good. Would have been better with taper gibs. The leadscrews and leadscrew nuts are poor without anti backlash incorporated and should be upgraded for holdind better presicision. Overall I rate this a great buy for the home machinist or the machine shop that has the time and resources to make this what it's suppose to be. The work that it's involved in getting this product to its point at purchase is well worth the money. It just needs the finishing touchesRead full review...

Milling table

Great solid piece for the money!!!
This is a very nice X Y table for the money. Its quite solid with a few adjustments it will do the job. It came well crated with no damage shipping was very fast. The paint work isn't the best but that has nothing to do with the use of the tool! I made a cover to protect the screw from chips in the rear and installed a Igaging DRO on the X and Y axis It made a nice small mill out of an old heavy duty drill press. Read full review...
