Going to go check it out tomorrow. Have to put in a new sink/disposal/faucet today. 
Have mixed feelings on this. Talked to Matt and he has some 935TVs arriving in about 8 weeks or so. This mill, space-wise, is about ideal for a tinkerer like me. But by the time I add single phase, add a 3-axis DRO, and have it shipped I'm looking at around $8k.
The same configuration for the Lagun, delivered/set up in my garage would be about $2k less. For a whole bunch more machine. But do I need a mill this large? (a friend here once said "what does NEED have to do with anything?") Also, I worry about getting this horse down to Tucson in a few years, but the owner of the Lagun told me he just bought a larger(?) mill and had it shipped from Jersey for about $1600 which isn't too bad. Worst case scenario would be I have to leave it here and sell it before the move.
Similar to this one except the motor is different/smaller/older?
Decisions, decisions.
