i do not know anything about this machine and likely will go for more


many lift tables reasonable at the moment but you never know.

How do you make cabinet doors with that?

i assume you comment is in jest. we have had few threads about milling machines here. few of us, not me, own them and some would like to, so the reason for sharing.

FWIW, it sold for $3450 ($3967 with buyers premium).

perhaps, milling a part to fix a tool used for cabinet door building is how it can actually help build a cabinet door. personally, i like items that incorporate metal with wood but i do not have metal working knowledge beyond basics.

That was a pricey amount for an old manual machine. I’ve seen a lot of Bridgeports sell for less than that. Also, don’t forget, those can be expensive to move, and easy to damage...

There are a lot of Taiwan Bridgeport clones out on the used market.? Bidspotter has them all the time.? Now if you find a good condition Wells Index, particularly the vertical/ horizontal, that is worth watching.? They are still in business in US and a step up in build.? Dave
