Hello all,
I'm finally at a place in my life where I can afford and have room for a small mill.
I've been scouring FB marketplace and craigslist, and I've found that I can get an RF30-style mill for about $800-1k OR I can get a Burke no4 for about the same money.
The burke comes with the vertical milling attachment, and looks to be in decent shape, AND I know I can add a traditional milling head to it, BUT it has a pretty small working area (something like 11"x4"), but it's so darn neat!
RF30-style mills are popular, and I don't mind doing some mods to make it more serviceable.
I know it's subjective, but which one is a better pick?
