Yes they are expensive. I was going to buy one but instead bought a used
"bench top" knee type mill-drill at an auction for $500 and made room for
it. Glad I did, much more versatile and easier to use. I know this really
doesn't answer your question, but thought I'd give you a nudge in the
direction of a mill. I guess it depends on how much you would use it.

Saw this on E-bay today.

d=1 Any opinions on this. Seems like he wants a lot of money for it. I
wouldn't mind having one as I don't have room for a real milling macine
but
I wonder if these things are worth buying. It uses a morse taper collet
and
I'm uncertain if they would have enough holding power. Also would this
cause
excessive wear to my old Atlas? Then there's the question of whether it
would be a big pain in the ass to setup.
