Made an off the cuff offer on a Kent mill that I thought would be laughed off. The guy countered back at under $9k. Now I’m seriously considering pulling the trigger.
Box ways, integrated VFD, solid machine. A machine that will last my for the rest of my life. I’ll need to add a DRO and power feed.
So here I sit trying to talk myself out making the purchase. I have a Well Index 747 with issues. I got it cheap(about $2k total invested) and should be able to at least break even. It runs and cuts, but the ways need scrapped. Issues with y axis and the table plus I’m short on free time.
I’ve been eyeballing various PM knee and bench top mills. But the Kent is a lot more mill compared to a comparable PM knee mill. This is probably the wrong place to ask but any good reason not to pull the trigger?
