Question for Mike and others with their own milling machines...

[Finnster]

Craigslist is another place to find machines. If going used, its worth it to inspect them 1st. Also, they are insanely heavy, so shipping isn't realistic. The cheaper machines wear out much faster, and you may be buying someones problem that can't do precise work w/ o a lot of reconditioning.

Sucks to have to pay so much, for this type of tools, it seems there is not a smart way around it
