I went to Dave Meridan's site, not much for a mill there, other than to say
why not to bother with indicator readings. His lathe advice was good.

I've seen the machine tool reconditioning book's advice. its WAY to complex
for evaluating a machine, IMHO.

I'd like to buy new, but have to be careful with the milady factor. A used
machine will cost me the price of a machine plus a new couch. A new machine
will cost me the price of the machine plus new carpet and flooring through
out the house.

The rule is: I get something, she gets something.

If it's a tool that is used in your business operations, it does *not*
qualify as you getting anything, therefore she is *not* entitled to
anything either.

Um, it does if it works the other way. Her trip
to Tibet and China got me a spectrum analyzer for
the business. I'm not complaining.
