If you are near PA, this will make a nice basement mill. Comes apart in 3 or 4 pieces to be manhandled down the stairs, if I remember correctly.?
I believe some of our members already have one of these and can speak to its qualities and drawbacks.

It is a great mill for the poor people who cannot afford a good Bridgeport or a? Burke Millrite.

开云体育??? ??? Well I'm hopin mine is a good unit . I had just bought a Enco round column mill that needed a fair amount of work , but i bought it real good . The KBC mill along with a 1980's Enco 11x22 lathe came to me by way of a bud's dad after sitting under a tarp & custom made wooden enclosure for @ 20 years . His dad told me that 99 %of his work was with plastics . Based on the boxes I got with it full of Lexan & some other stuff I have no reason not to believe his statement . animal On 8/23/23 1:27 PM, Andrei wrote:

In the Chicago area the Bridgeport mills can often be found cheaper than the Clausing. There are far fewer Clausing mills and they fit in a smaller space vertically and horizontally so their prices are inflated. The Bridgeport is a better mill but it wont fit in my garage so that is why I purchased the Clausing. I am a hobbyist. If I did this for a living I would not get anything smaller than a Bridgeport.

I saw a Bridgeport the other day, I was amazed how big it was. Possible if I could move one into my shop before I had anything in it like a band saw, drill press, tables, cabinets or lathes I could fit the Bridgeport in. But now it would be outside under a tarp like my tool cabinet, which is close to being out there for three years now. Ralph On Wed, Aug 30, 2023 at 10:16?AM Chipbreaker13 <john.lillig@...> wrote:
