Good choice if you have the space, ceiling height and don't have to
move it down stairs.

If not, a Clausing-size knee mill or a mill-drill should be mostly
adequate for a home shop unless you plan to rebore an engine block or
air compressor.


I'm happy as a Murff with my RF45 clone ... a perfect companion for a
10X30 lathe .
