Whatever you buy, ask about the table motion per dial revolution. Mine is
0.1 inch per turn, but some machines apparently have 0.125 inch/turn
(would drive me nuts - I think),


My mill (Gorton) has a table motion of .125 for each turn of a hand wheel.
I thought it would be awkward, but it's not really. I got used to it pretty
quickly.

Ditto. My KBC A1S knee mill has 8 pitch leadscrews (0.125" per turn)
also. It seems strange at first, but you do get used to it rather
quickly. No big deal, really, though a 0.1" or 0.2" per turn screws are
easier to use at first.
