Hey all
I've been in the market for a PM25mv or maybe smaller mill like LMS HiTorque. I do auto restoration with side orders of hardware prototyping and general purpose mucking about. No real heavy duty requirements and like everyone, space is always in short supply. The import machines are all back ordered, which isn't particularly a concern as there's no timeline on my needs.
Today I'm looking at an Enco 100-5200 from 1985 with Enco XY DRO and 110v 2hp Sargon motor, ask is $1500 obo. Vice but no tooling. The size gives me some pause as does what I can only presume is less tooling, repair and modification support than for the ubiquitious import mills. I have a ubiquitious import mini lathe and love that I can get quite decent import tooling and parts to my doorstep tommorrow for very fair prices (or nicer tooling when I'm flush).
Any thoughts on the machine or price would help thanks.
