    Depending on what you’re cooking, that is a desirable feature – well, riding right on that threshold.

    Note that burnt butter is distinctly bad for your health. All those complex proteins and fats all getting thrown through the chemical grinder… But damn is it tasty to fry a perogy in almost burnt butter compared to any of the oils in that chart…










  • It’s funny. I have a Proxxon manual mini metal lathe and mill combo which I bought new. And it’s absolutely fantastic (for its price). Proxxon occupies this weird niche in the market where they try to make a suite of entry level tools that professionals would use, but they’re still hobby grade in many ways. Good tools to learn about tools.

    Perhaps it is price though. I paid almost $3k for my lathe/mill combo from them, fully kitted out. The DS230 is like $300 when new, which is damned cheap for something not made in China. Could be that you got what you paid for :/
