Hey, buddy, c'mere, I got what yer looking for...

What size mill are you lusting for? Is this going to be in a garage, or
downstairs? 115v or 220?

For a small mill, about 125 pounds, the Sieg X2 is fairly well known. It
uses an MT3 spindle. Up from that is the X3 (or slobber, slobber) the
Super X3. About 350 pounds, uses R8 tooling.

For a garage, look at the Rong Fu models for somewhat small (600 or so
pounds). Then there are the Bridgeport models... Oh, yeah, baby... (bump
and grind).


And lets not forget www.lathemaster.com and the ZAY7045 machine they
sell , around 1700 bucks delivered .
Guess I need to just bite the bullet and order one of these .
