We have a horizontal machining center (CNC) that cost in the neighborhood of
$250.000. Bought new less than 6 years ago. Can't buy parts for it anymore.
No longer being made. Unfortunately, that's the way it is these days. Long
term support is a hope. BTW, it's a Hitachi.

The problem I have with Craftsman these days is will you be able
to buy parts for all those machines that get good reviews today 10 years
from now.
