I am sure many of you have seen these ads showing micro lathes, milling Machines and table saws.

Has anyone tried to buy one of these? I  don't really trust these sites so I am wondering if they are legit and do you get something that is good quality.

Could you post pictures of these machines to better understand what you are talking about?

Whatever you are seeing on Facebook can probably be found on a site you would be more comfortable with like Amazon or Walmart

 

These 'cheap' tools are all coming from China and can be found on may different sites.

 

I never click through adds on Facebook because scams are rampant there.

 

Checking here at MSW is always a good screening process.

That's why I was asking for some pictures. One can then comment on possible qualities and point to reliable sources.

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.
