A good choice for doing what?

If you're thinking of buying a mill, either get one with servo drives,
or one that is easily converted to CNC by adding servo drives. (I
don't like steppers). CNC makes things much easier.

That also means ball screws for the table. If the machine is sloppy
when operated manually, it will still be sloppy when driven by a
computah.

As for the safety lecture, it's all good advice. I would roll up my
sleeves, or use a velcro strap to keep them in place. The only real
accident I can recall was getting a sleeve caught in an industrial
sewing machine. Also, if you're using coolant, you'll never be able
to keep the machines as clean as the one in the video.
