I have absolutely no idea what I'm really doing but I think I want to buy a mill. I have a shop and lots of tools so I'm not completely unfamiliar with building stuff but I don't know shit about mills. I'm looking for something I can mount on a workbenche. Where is a good place to start or what is a good mill to start with. Also, what would it allow me to do? Like, what is the technical limits with a benchtop mill? What are some of the things most people do with them?

Could you mill out some serrations on a glock slide or a cut out for an rmr with it? What about dimpling a bbl or fluting it?
Would work fine for any of that as long as it’s a straight line. Anything diagonal or with any kind of contour would be very difficult with any hand operated mill.
