I think it was a better starting point for me. I have 100% confidence now
that I can take a non working machine and turn it into a working machine.
If I had started out with the Hurco two years ago though I suspect it would
still be sitting under a tarp in the shop and I wouldn't have cut any parts
in all that time. Instead I used the Taig to make parts, and even to make
parts to take another small non-working machine and turn it into a working
machine. I will probably use the two mini machines to make any parts I need
to get the Hurco going too.

Is there something wrong with this Hurco?

What is its condition?

incorporating some of the things I have learned to make them better for the
price.)
