This looks like a catalog picture with out tooling.
I have never used one so I can not comment to much.
However what tooling comes with it?
Vice
Collets
Mill cutters
hold down clamps
fly cutter
etc etc
You can pile up a lot of money in tooling maybe even more than the $450 for the mill.
Hoever I would be tempted to look at it.
Look for slop, in the bed, the cross slide, spindle and arbor, the precision down feed system etc, etc,
Ask to take some trial cuts. Be careful, do not climb mill. That is feed the steel in the same direction that the cutter is turning. Feed the steel into the opposite direction of the cutter.
