I'm leaning towards kludging something together in the $500 (less if I
can) and sweat realm, which may not have auto feed (if it's manual feed
and the manual feed is fine enough to work, that should be OK, and
cheaper).


Can you borrow the head from a Bridgeport? Then all you need to do is
scab together a mount for the head, a boring bar, and a guide bushing.
