Hey guys,
I've been looking around for a while now for a good price on a fairly heavy mill, vertical, bridgeport style only heavier.
I ran across one I've not heard of before and wondered if I should give it any consideration or not? It a Dufour, a machine made in France for the US market. So the dials are in inches instead of metric I guess. This machine has a vertical head with a 40 spindle, and also a horizontal setup for it as well.
Nice looking machine and appears to be well taken care of. Really a nice looking machine! No tooling, asking 2k.
I'm wondering if I had problems in the future if I would be able to find parts, or info to repair this machine. Don't know how reliable these machines are. I wouldn't have a french car if you gave it to me, so I don't really know about there machines.
If you know anything about these mills made in France for the US, I'd like to know what you know.
Thanks very much!
Mm
