It's an 8520 & it's $800. Seems like a good deal to me - Reliable Tools
just had a 8520 sell for $1700 on eBay. 'Course it looked a lot better
than the CL one.

How bad good the CL one be (serious question)?

Spindle bearings and axis nuts. Shrug..on that mill..none of that is a
deal breaker.

Would be a fine little mill for someone living in an apartment or using
a spare bedroom.

Ive used a number of them in clients shops and they are surprisingly
accurate and powerful for the size.

And they still sell for over $1400 here in California..more than
Bridgeports.
