Having read the usual responses, nothing that could be considered

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.

I agree. I have the same KBC model A1S mill, and I'm pleased with it.
The A1S mills are a fine alternative if you don't have the room for a
BP. The Clausing mills are also worth considering, though smaller yet
than an A1S.
