Is there any movement when using it as a mill (head movement) it’ll stay vertical, true with no movement?

It is held by lowering and holding a drill quill. I find it extremely efficient. I have Sherline mill but would never do blocks on it even with a sensitive drilling attachment I have. It has about 5 thou runout on the 0.4 mm tool. My Proxxon setup is 1.5 thou runout. Sherline is for some more crude and metal work.

It is sturdy and accurate enough to do such work. Better than Sherline with its runout.

Heck if that’s the case that may be the way I want to go for now at least (and maybe for ever if it works the way I want it to) and less expensive than a mini mill.

If you do, buy it with standard Proxxon collets set to hold the tool. Do not get adjustable chuck as it is inaccurate. Also you may consider buying this contraption. This is very handy.

One more picture regarding the Proxxon set up accuracy.

Yes they are but just like model kits they are pirated from the genuine manufacturers.  

That could be true.  However Innocraftsman sources their tools from China.  Some of these tools have been available on the Chinese market for at least 5 years.  I don't know if anyone is pirating these designs from anyone else so it is an open question.

Tired hearing of "pirating". Proof of pirating must be presented before accusing. In general this issue is the matter for legal courts. Has little to do with consumers.
