So I've decided that I want to upgrade my runout Millrite to a bigger mill in better shape! I ended up selling a bunch of my woodworking gear + some extra guns, and got together about $7k for a replacement!
On ebay, about a 4 hr drive from me, is a basically-unused Birmingham variable head mill with a 2 axis DRO and 2 axis power feed. Its a 10x54, so it is a pretty sizable mill, but I have the room. AND it is a bit under my budget.
Anything I should think about before just buying this? Am I missing some amazing other deal that would be similar?
I see a handful of bridgeports around, but they typically don't come up in all that good shape around here.
