Yeah it's super small. I only plan on doing aluminum anywayIt's......cute. 0xa tool holder I'm guessing? The steady rest will be your best friend since it looks as if it doesn't have a through hole. I'd think you're doing aluminum at best just because of the look rigidity wise. I may stand corrected with it being a CNC, but man I'd think you'd have a lot of very shallow passes doing steel. I'd like more rigidity in my Atlas even to be honest.
How does the CNC hand backlash? On my clapped out Atlas it's um interesting. I don't feel quite like I have the skill yet to really deal with it, although it's getting better.
.405 through holeThat's pretty damn wild the design goes back that far, and awesome they "eat their own dog food" so to put it. Sounds like it's solid for the size, using them for production evokes confidence since your or I would have a fraction of the hours on anything we did probably. Just like most machine tools they work if you know the limits.
I'd have something bigger myself if I had space for it. The Atlas is about as big as I'd feel safe getting into my basement. Wish I had root cellar doors I'd smuggle in something bigger.
I also feel like even the 10X36 I have is too big for some things, really wish I had something small like that. It may well also be that my skills aren't there for doing it yet either/I'm misisng some tooling like a follow rest.
Does that actually have a through hole? If so how big? You mentioned a feeder as well, so I'd think so.
