Let me start by saying there is a very small chance I will purchase either of these, but, if the tool addiction takes over and I have to buy one...
A Cincinnati 1b or a Chevalier falcon FM-3VK
Assume they are both in similar condition and within a couple hundred bucks of each other. They both have power feeds on same axis, and neither come with tooling.
I have heard the Cincinnati has a strange taper/collet set up, and of course getting parts could be difficult and expensive. The Chevalier still has parts support. The Chevalier is a variable speed, the Cincinnati requires belt changing.
