The 36-watt version of the XENDOLL desktop mill, with the same spindle speed, the same handle scale and the same bullets as the 24-watt one.
Where we come out Half again the motor at the same spindle speed, which is torque where a small mill needs it — on a listing identical to its 24-watt sibling in every other word.
XENDOLL sells this machine twice: at 24 watts as the W104MA and at 36 as the W104MB, with bullets that are word for word the same apart from the number. Comparing the two is therefore a short exercise, and it leads somewhere useful.
Both publish a 20,000 rpm motor and a 3,000 rpm spindle. Since the spindle speed is unchanged, the extra fifty per cent of power is available as torque — and torque is precisely what a small mill runs out of when the cutter is buried in a slot and the work starts to push back. On a machine of this class that is the right place for more power to go.
Everything else is the same and the same limits apply. Wood, plastic, plexiglass, pure copper and pure aluminum, with alloys explicitly excluded. A 0.1 mm (0.004 in) per division handle scale, which is the resolution you can set. An AC 100-240 V adapter, safety glasses and tools in the box, and a stated purpose that includes STEM teaching alongside hobby use. What neither listing gives is an axis travel, a vice capacity, a cutting capacity or a runout figure — the last being the first thing this hub’s introduction says to compare.

Probably, and the listings will not tell you why. Both machines publish the same 3,000 rpm spindle, so the extra power is available as torque rather than speed — which is exactly what a small mill runs out of when a cutter is buried in aluminum. Fifty per cent more torque at the same speed is a real improvement on a machine this small. What neither page publishes is a cutting capacity, so the benefit cannot be read off the spec.
On the published data, yes. The five bullets on this listing and on the W104MA are identical word for word apart from the wattage: the same 20,000 rpm motor with a ±15 per cent tolerance, the same 3,000 rpm spindle, the same 0.1 mm (0.004 in) per division handle scale, the same accessory list, the same materials and the same exclusion of alloys. Two references, two wattages, one page written twice.
Same shelf, nearest price — what else that money puts on the bench.

12 V DC · lathe and mill in one · tool-height shims · soft metals only
A 12-volt combination mini lathe and mill that supplies shims to set the tool height — the one adjustment that decides whether a small lathe cuts or rubs.
Best for: Teaching turning and milling on one machine, in wood, plastic and pure copper or aluminum
≈ $235
7 in swing · 14 in centers · 2,500 rpm variable · reversible · DRO
The only real metal lathe in the American half of this hub — 7 by 14 inches, variable to 2,500 rpm, reversible for left-hand threads, with a digital readout and a cutter kit.
Best for: Turning steel parts on a bench, where the tooling has to come with the machine
