Been on the hunt to get started in this machining hobby. Been lurking a bit, but upgraded my membership today. Just missed out on a 1930's South Bend Lathe that came up on CL recently. Widening my net.
I'd be just starting out and learning, so a solid foundation machine is more important to me than fancy feeds/DRO's. I can always add that later. Drop me a line if you see anything that may be a great starter opportunity, that will grow with me. I'd rather buy once here. Somewhat limited space here so anything beyond a smaller knee mill, or a 1440 lathe would be a challenge.
