The micro mill is a perfect example of something you dont want to buy. It'll be extremely flimsy, and although you might not care about holding .02", your tools would never survive that much wobble
Find something with a significantly larger column. The wider the column and base, the more stability and accuracy you'll have. And stay away from machines that slim, or built entirely from machined steel sections. You want castings.
