I have been trawling the web for what feels like an eternity looking for a Hercus 0 mill (or tom senior/atlas/myford etc) with vertical milling attachments in good nick I saw the Sieg SU1 years ago an like alot of very small stuff saw that it was probably not up to what I need.

I currently have a RF32 mill and thats about the footprint I have room for. I do mostly hobbyist alloy work with the occasional bit of light steel.
I have been considering buying an HM-46 or similar as the rotating head and Dovetail column would be very handy (however Not being able to tram the Nod holds me back from just making a quick purchase)

The Horizontal milling would be very useful for some common operations I use the mill for, I recently saw the SU2 and its a larger brother to the Su1. reasonably priced etc, It looks OK to me andim seeking some advice, Sieg seem to have a good reputation of producing OK (for the price and Chinese-ness) have I gone mad considering such a small machine? Is there any other recommendations people would suggest?
