Comments on the above machines, or suggested alternatives, are
welcome.

KBC has an A1-s size mill that breaks down into pieces that two people
can carry nicely. Smaller than a Bridgeport, but still a knee mill,
and with more knee travel than the same size from Grizzly. Total
weight is 960 pounds. 20" max spindle to table.

Model number is VM-22-R8 Part number is 6-380-002

Good solid little machine, I have one, haven't regretted buying it.
2003/2004 catalog price is $2450, not a bad buy.
