not the best deal I've seen, and not as robust as a Bridgeport, or even a lighter Bridgeport clone. But, is single phase, and will mill metal!

Mr Asa, or others - I'm not far away if ya want a local to put eyes on. Or can store indoors till a pickup, if needed.

Much appreciated. I've had my eye out for a mill for my shop for quite awhile now. Sending him an email now.

That's a decent unit for the price.  It's R-8 so any tooling you buy will be usable if you upgrade later to a Bridgeport type machine.  Learning on a lighter machine like that will force you to learn feeds, speeds and tooling because you won't be able to just bull your way through stuff.

You'll need to log in to post.
