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?

I’ve had this one for a couple of years now and it’s been pretty good under light use. Good size for milling 80% lowers and handy for some other things around the house too. I have it bolted to the workbench and it’s been great so far.
I was going to say anything made by Grizzly. Probably the best reputation in the machining industry there is for light use milling setups.
