Hello this is my first time here. We search for new milling distributor around my place (Indonesia). We did found this strange looking milling machine. This look different from another. They use somekind of electrical rotor or idk. I wonder if anyone know this particular design. Would this work great or nah?

Your question puzzles me... do you not know what an end mill is? They are used for subtractive metal forming... not grinding flour. Do you have a link to show what you expected to see?

We had one where I used to work and it was fine I guess. They're basically drill presses with a table for the x and y. I will say get a version with the R8 chuck if you decide on these.

R8 is the only collets I accept. Why do there have to be so many kinds of collets!!!

No 5C? No 50 taper? What about ER collets? Different, non-interchangeable sizes because fuck everyone I guess.
