Yes the modern mill can do everything it can and much more making it obsolete to most users. I have come across a few large ones 24" stroke in scrap yards but what home shop has room for a ton of iron and the power to run it. For the small ones in the home shop it does a few small jobs, flat and curved sufaces, v-ways and key seats with inexpensive tooling, that you can grind yourself and set-ups are quick.Just the kind of thing a non-machinist in the home shop can learn relatively quick to produce small basic parts. Oh and I like the way it operates.
