The Durston C130 is the standard for most of us. I've owned a few mills in my time, and the C130 is the most robust, reliable workhorse I've every owned. You get what you pay for and you will quickly outgrow a less expensive mill. Don't get fooled by the lower prices on less expensive mills. They are not a Durston. This thing is a beast compared to less expensive mills. It just makes no sense to invest monies in a smaller mill unless you know for sure you'll never do anything beyond light roll printing. I fabricate and make a lot of wire and sheet stock. You need a real mill to do that.
