Hello world,
I've been restoring machines for a little bit now, and am currently working on a Bridgeport series-2 that I'm gonna sell, when I'm done with it I should have a couple thousand dollars to buy my own. The only problem is that I'm Thirteen and my dad is convinced that a mill would be way too big for our garage. First of all, how should I convince my family that it is okay? Second, is there a specific family friendly machine that is compact, single phase but still has sufficient power, and fits my preference of older machines?
Thanks, That's-a-fallacy
PS: before you ask, I have considered bench-top mills, I feel like there aren't any companies that make high quality bench-top tools, and I want a nice one, so long as it's within four or so thousand dollars.
