I want to get into a CNC machine for my Live steam hobby, I am really intrigued by the taig CNC milling Machines, would a Taig Mill be suffice for most 3/4" locomotive building work? I have a 10" Atlas lathe with a milling attachment, and I do have access to a bridgeport mill. I have also looked at the sherline CNC mill also. Any advice would be appreciated, Zach  |

The answer is that any part which fits within the XYZ envelope of the Taig can be milled, and anything larger needs a different machine. Personally I would look at a larger machine if your budget and shop space allows.

Hi Zach,
I started building by Kozo A3 on a Sherline.
There are quite a lot of the parts that can be done with that size machine, but there are significant exceptions. If you had access to a larger machine for milling big stuff like frames and boiler parts, then you could make it work.
