Thanks again to all who shared there experience/advice...learn something new every day!
I have been focusing on a Lathe (with some difficulties) and I originally thought that was best for first purchase, but now I think the best "first" purchase would be the "first good deal"...either a lathe or a mill.
So, gonna switch gears here today...came across a Millrite-Burke Vertical milling machine with R-8 tooling, power feed and milling vise with a 1hp. -3 phase motor.
It's not too far away...the asking price is $2500. It looks to be in good shape, so i'm going to look at it tomorrow...any info on the mill, advice on checking it out or price would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!!
