Default Atlas Horizontal Mill Opinions

Too much!
I'd expect to get any extra arbors with it for about 1/2 of that price.
Note that you'll need a lot of special tooling to decently utilize a
horizontal mill and few of them will work with other machines.

Unless you really NEED a horizontl mill, at that price (or a little
more), you could get a used Bridgeport J head.

Guy wants $1250, looks like tooling is extra. Sounds expensive to me.
