I'm in the process of upgrading from my ShopTask 3-in-1 BridgeMill. I've recently acquired a 60's era South Bend 10L. It's a joy to use compared to the BridgeMill! Now I need the mill. Space is tight. I could fit a full size mill but it would not be pretty. I've never needed the capacity of a 42" table like is found on most full size knee mils.
I'm in the Florida Panhandle so there isn't much around here. I had to go down to Ocala (4 hours one-way) for my lathe. I read in another thread that a Burke MV would be a good option. Found one of those near Tampa but it looks very rough (especially considering they're asking $1,200).
Any other suggestions on a vertical mill that has decent rigidity that's not so large?
