    I currently use a twenty year old Microlux drill press. It’s showing it’s age and I’m thinking of replacing it. I’m considering a Proxxon drill press but I’m also attracted to the mill.  I’ve never done any milling and would probably use the mill for wood most of the time. But the mill would need to function as my everyday drill press also.

     

    My indecision (mill versus drill press) is based on how easy/convenient/etc. Can I really use a mill as a drill press or am I kidding myself that the mill can be used daily as a drill press. I can only purchase one. Any thoughts?...Moab

    Thanks for the reply. I can't say I'm a total beginner. I've built the Armed Sloop Virginia, the Ranger, Thames Launch and am currently about 2/3 into the Panart Armed Launch. I've also built about 10,000 stick and tissue airplanes (at least it feels like 10,000). 

    When I view the work of members on this site I'm not nearly as skilled but at 75 I keep trying!

    What's the next step?.....Moab/Allan

About the NRG

If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.

The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.

The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
