--FWIW I suggest you consider what *not* to get and steer away from
the turkey brands; i.e. Rockwell good, Sears bad, etc. Also getcher self a
copy of a massive tome called "Machine Tool Reconditioning" which includes
survey forms that you copy and take with you when you go to look at used
machine tools: very handy that one...
