I've been shopping for a mill for a while and really wish I had room for a Bridgeport as they are a dime a dozen.
So that has me looking at the 3/4 mills (Clausing 8520, Rockwell, Taiwanese 8x30, etc.) I was looking at Millrite, but not a fan of only having fine OR coarse down feed. If I had to choose one, I'd want fine and those are harder to come by it seems.
I rarely see a Clausing, the Rockwells I see a little more often and the various Taiwanese I see most often (Jet, MSC, Grizzly, etc.) and they all run roughly the same price.
Can y'all help me with the pros and cons of these? Of these, should I look harder for one over the other?
Thanks!
