Achipo,
It is a good precise cast steel machine that will do what it is supposed to do. When parts are clamped to the bed, it will not warp when the clamps are tightened. This is not the case with other small machines using extruded (usually aluminum) beds. If a milling bed warps, any precision that was originally in the machine is gone. Some small mills warp so badly that after clamping a part, the bed can be rocked back and forth by hand. As long as this machine is not pushed beyond what it was designed for, it will produce beautiful results. This mill should be able to machine any watch or clock parts or any other parts in that size range.
